OVERVIEW

Drill More Holes in Less Time

Fabricators and welders know that drilling through stainless steel can be a frustrating, tool-destroying process if you don't have the right equipment. The Walter SST+ #40 Jobber Drill Bit is built specifically to solve this problem. Whether you are prepping a chassis, installing hardware, or fabricating custom metalwork, this bit delivers the bite and stamina you need. Made with a heavy-duty cobalt blend, it resists the intense heat that burns up standard high-speed steel bits, giving you a tool that stays sharp longer and drills more holes per dollar.

The frustration of a drill bit wandering across your workpiece is a thing of the past with the SST+. Its self-centering Speed Tip allows you to start drilling instantly with pinpoint accuracy, even on round tubing or polished surfaces. You can leave your center punch in the toolbox and trust the bit to do the work. This feature is a massive time-saver for welders who need to drill multiple rivet or bolt holes in rapid succession. The 135-degree point angle is aggressive enough to cut quickly but robust enough to handle the shock of breaking through the backside of the material without chipping.

Walter has also designed this bit to run cooler and smoother. The special bronze SST coating acts as a lubricant and shield, preventing metal chips from welding to the bit—a common issue when drilling aluminum or gummy stainless grades. The high-flow flutes eject debris fast, so you aren't re-cutting chips, which keeps the cutting edge fresh. The body of the bit is slightly tapered from tip to shank, eliminating the friction that causes binding and snapping deep in a hole. When your project demands clean, accurate holes in tough materials, trust the Walter SST+ to get the job done right the first time.

FAQ

A #40 wire gauge drill bit has a decimal diameter of 0.0980 inches.

Yes, the SST+ series is specifically engineered with a cobalt blend to drill through stainless steel and other hard metals effectively.

No, the Walter SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that prevents walking, allowing you to drill directly without a center punch.

The bronze SST treatment reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, lowering heat generation and extending the tool's life.

Yes, the high-flow flute design helps evacuate chips quickly, making it suitable for non-ferrous metals like aluminum as well as steel.

This drill bit features a 135-degree point angle, which is ideal for drilling into harder materials and provides better centering.

Jobber length refers to the standard length of the drill bit, offering a common balance between flute length and overall rigidity for general-purpose drilling.

The back-tapered body reduces the contact area between the bit and the hole walls, preventing binding and reducing the risk of breakage.
