Walter SST+ #42 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit for Stainless Steel

Heavy-Duty Drilling for Stainless Steel Fabrication

Welders and fabricators know that drilling stainless steel requires a bit that can take the heat. The Walter #42 SST+ Jobber Drill (01B542) is built to tackle the toughest alloys found in the welding shop. Made with a robust cobalt blend, this drill bit resists the extreme temperatures that typically burn out standard high-speed steel bits. It is the ideal choice for drilling rivet holes, mounting points, or pilot holes in stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals.

Stop wasting time with center punches and wandering bits. The Walter SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that grabs the metal immediately upon contact. This is particularly useful when working with portable drills in awkward positions or on rounded tubing where standard bits tend to slip. The aggressive cutting action allows you to penetrate the material faster with less feed pressure, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive drilling tasks.

The 01B542 is designed to keep you working longer with fewer bit changes. Its specialized flute design clears chips efficiently, preventing the bit from binding in deep holes. The bronze surface treatment adds an extra layer of protection against wear and friction. When your project demands clean, precise holes in heavy-gauge metal, trust the Walter SST+ #42 drill bit to get the job done right the first time.
