Walter SST+ Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit - Wire Gauge #44

The Welder's Choice for Stainless Steel

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to drill through stainless steel with an inferior bit. It overheats, work-hardens the material, and eventually snaps or burns out. The Walter SST+ Jobber Drill Bit #44 is the solution to these shop-floor headaches. Built with a heavy-duty cobalt blend, this bit is specifically formulated to cut through hard metals without losing its temper. For welders fabricating custom parts, drilling out rivets, or preparing surfaces for assembly, the SST+ offers the bite and durability needed to get the job done right the first time. Stop wasting money on disposable bits that fail after a few holes and upgrade to a tool designed for the rigors of the welding shop.

No Walking, Just Drilling

Time is money, and fumbling with a center punch adds unnecessary steps to your fabrication process. The Walter SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that bites into the metal immediately upon contact. This means you can place your drill exactly where you need the hole and pull the trigger with confidence, even on curved surfaces or round tubing. This precision is essential when drilling pilot holes for tapping or when alignment is critical for bolted connections. The #44 wire gauge size offers precise dimensioning for specific tapping or clearance requirements, ensuring your fit-up is perfect.

Built to Last

Durability is what sets the Walter SST+ apart. The bronze SST surface treatment isn't just for looks; it helps the bit shed heat and chips efficiently. Heat is what kills drill bits, especially in stainless steel. By evacuating chips faster with its High Flow flute design and reducing friction with its tapered body, this bit stays cooler longer. This means you get more holes per bit, fewer tool changes, and less downtime. Whether you are working on mild steel brackets, aluminum fixtures, or heavy-gauge stainless sheets, the Walter 01B544 is the reliable workhorse you need in your tool crib.
