Walter SST Cobalt Stub Drill Bit #36 - Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Bit

The Welder's Choice for Stainless and Sheet Metal

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a project, especially when working with unforgiving materials like stainless steel. The Walter 01J036 #36 SST Stub Drill Bit is designed to solve exactly that problem. Built tough for the fabrication shop, this "stubby" bit features a shorter profile than standard bits. This short length isn't just about fitting into tight spaces—it is about strength. The shorter shank means the bit is far more rigid, allowing you to lean into the work without the bit flexing, wandering, or snapping off in the hole.

When you are prepping sheet metal for spot welds or drilling rivet holes, speed and accuracy are everything. This bit features a self-centering 135-degree split point that bites into the metal the instant it touches the surface. You can say goodbye to the bit "walking" across your workpiece and scratching the finish. It is specifically formulated with a cobalt blend to handle the heat-hardening properties of stainless steel, ensuring that you get more holes per bit and spend less time at the grinder sharpening tools.

The bronze SST coating is another feature that sets this bit apart in a welding environment. It helps the bit run cooler and eject chips faster, preventing the galling and binding that often ruins lesser bits. Whether you are drilling out broken bolts, prepping a chassis, or fabricating custom stainless enclosures, the Walter #36 Stub Drill gives you the control and durability you need to get the job done right the first time. It is a small tool that makes a big difference in your daily workflow.
