Tough Bits for Tough Jobs: Walter 31/64" SST Stub Drill

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job. You lean into the drill to get through a piece of frame rail or a stainless sheet, the bit flexes, and snap—you're left digging out a broken shard. The Walter 31/64" SST Stub Drill is designed to solve exactly that problem. This isn't your average hardware store drill bit; it is a professional-grade tool built for the abuse of the welding shop and the job site. The "stub" design means the bit is shorter and thicker relative to its length than a standard bit. This stout profile gives it incredible strength, allowing you to apply the pressure needed to cut through hardened materials without the bit bowing or breaking.

Precision is key when you are fitting up parts, and the Walter SST delivers. It features a 135-degree split point tip. If you've ever tried to drill a hole in a pipe or a piece of sheet metal and had the bit wander all over the surface, scratching up your work, you'll appreciate this feature. The split point centers itself the instant it touches the metal. You don't need a center punch; just point and shoot. This is a huge time-saver when you have dozens of spot welds to drill out or rivets to remove.

Heat kills drill bits, especially when working with stainless steel. Walter has coated these bits with their exclusive Bronze SST surface treatment. This slick coating helps chips slide out of the hole and keeps friction down, meaning the bit stays cooler and sharp longer. It is specifically formulated to handle mild steel, non-ferrous metals like aluminum, and the dreaded stainless steel that eats lesser bits for breakfast. Because it is short, it is also perfect for tight spots—like drilling inside a wheel well, a cabinet, or between machinery parts where a long bit just won't fit.

Upgrade your toolbox with the Walter 31/64" SST Stub Drill. It’s the reliable partner you need for bodywork, fabrication, and general repairs. Stop wasting money on cheap bits that break and start drilling cleaner holes faster.
