01D550 - Walter 5.00Mm Sst Drill Bit

The Welder’s Choice for Tough Metals

Every welder knows the frustration of a dull bit skating across a piece of stainless steel or snapping halfway through a critical hole. The Walter 01D550 5.00mm SST+ Drill Bit is built to end that frustration. This isn't your average hardware store bit; it is a heavy-duty tool designed for the realities of the welding shop and the job site. Enhanced with a special cobalt blend, this bit is made to withstand the intense heat that kills standard bits. When you are drilling into hardened welds, stainless steel plate, or aluminum, the SST+ stays sharp longer, letting you punch through more metal with less downtime.

One of the standout features for fabricators is the bit's ability to handle round surfaces. Drilling into pipe, tubing, or curved automotive parts often leads to "walking," where the bit slips off the mark, damaging the finish or ruining the workpiece. The Walter SST+ is engineered to bite instantly and center itself, giving you precise holes exactly where you need them. This stability is crucial when you are working with a hand drill in an awkward position or trying to get a pilot hole started on a manifold.

Chip clearing is another area where this bit shines. The high-flow flute design pulls metal chips out of the hole fast. This keeps the bit from binding up and overheating, which is the number one reason bits snap. The back-tapered body design also means the sides of the bit don't drag against the hole, making the drilling action smoother and requiring less force from you. Whether you are prepping a surface for a plug weld, drilling out rivets, or fabricating a custom bracket, the Walter 5.00mm SST+ gives you the reliability and performance professional welders demand. Stop burning through cheap bits and switch to a tool that works as hard as you do.
