OVERVIEW

Stop Walking and Start Drilling with Walter SST+

Frustrated by drill bits that slip, dull instantly on stainless steel, or snap under pressure? The Walter SST+ Jobber Drill Bit #41 is designed to solve the most common headaches welders and fabricators face on the shop floor. This isn't just another standard drill bit; it is a heavy-duty problem solver built with a robust cobalt blend that eats through tough metals where others fail. If you frequently work with stainless steel, you know the challenge of work-hardening; the SST+ is built to cut aggressively and stay cool to prevent that very issue.

One of the standout features for anyone using a hand drill is the self-centering Speed Tip. We've all been there—trying to start a hole on a pipe or a smooth sheet of metal, only to have the bit skitter across the surface, scratching the finish. The Walter SST+ bites instantly. You don't need a center punch or a pilot hole. Just line it up, pull the trigger, and watch it penetrate. This 135-degree split point design saves you time on every single hole, which adds up to massive savings over the course of a project.

Durability is key in any welding shop. You don't want to stop in the middle of a job to swap out a burnt bit. The Walter 01B541 features a special bronze surface treatment and a back-tapered body. These features work together to reduce friction and drag. Less friction means less heat, and less heat means your drill bit stays sharp longer. The deep, high-flow flutes eject metal chips quickly, preventing the bit from binding up in deep holes. Whether you are drilling out rivets, fabricating brackets, or tapping holes in heavy plate, this #41 wire gauge bit delivers professional results every time.

Upgrade your toolbox with a drill bit that works as hard as you do. The Walter SST+ offers the perfect balance of flexibility and strength, resisting breakage while maintaining a hard cutting edge. It is the reliable choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals who need tools they can trust.

FAQ

The Walter SST+ drill bits are crafted from a heavy-duty cobalt blend, which offers superior heat resistance and hardness compared to standard High-Speed Steel (HSS), making them ideal for drilling tough metals like stainless steel.

No, the Walter SST+ features a self-centering 'Speed Tip' with a 135° split point that bites into the material instantly, eliminating the need for center punching, even on curved surfaces.

A #41 wire gauge drill bit has a decimal equivalent diameter of 0.0960 inches.

Yes, the cobalt blend and bronze SST surface treatment make this bit specifically suited for drilling stainless steel and other hard alloys without dulling prematurely.

The bronze SST treatment acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between the bit and the workpiece. This lowers heat generation, which is critical for maintaining the bit's temper and extending its lifespan.

Absolutely. The self-centering tip prevents the bit from 'walking' or slipping, making it excellent for use with portable hand drills where stability can be a challenge.

The High Flow flute design is engineered to evacuate metal chips from the hole rapidly. This prevents the chips from packing inside the hole, which can cause binding and overheating.

Yes, the Walter SST+ is versatile and effective on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as well as mild steel and stainless steel.
