OVERVIEW

The Welder's Choice for Rivets and Sheet Metal

For welders and fabricators, drilling out rivets or making clean holes in thin gauge sheet metal can be a frustration-filled task with cheap bits. The Walter 5/32" SST Double-End Stub Drill is built to solve exactly these problems. This isn't just another drill bit; it is a heavy-duty, cobalt-infused problem solver designed to bite hard and last long. The "stub" length means the bit is shorter and stiffer than a standard jobber bit, which virtually eliminates the snapping and bending that happens when you lean into a tough spot.

What makes this bit a favorite in the welding shop is its self-centering point. You know the struggle of a drill bit "walking" across a smooth sheet of metal, scratching the surface before it finally digs in? This Walter bit grabs instantly, allowing you to drill precise holes exactly where you marked them, without needing a center punch. It is perfect for drilling out spot welds or installing rivets in bodywork and HVAC fabrication.

Value is key in any shop, and this bit delivers double the value. Because it is double-ended, you are essentially getting two bits for the price of one. If you burn out one side on a stubborn piece of stainless, just flip it around in your chuck and keep working. The SST coating helps the bit run cooler, preventing it from welding itself to the material. Whether you are working with aluminum, mild steel, or stainless, this 5/32" bit is a toolbox essential.

Why Fabricators Love It

  • No Walking: Bites instantly on contact.
  • Tough as Nails: Cobalt alloy handles heat and hard metals.
  • Two-in-One: Flip it over for a brand new cutting edge.

FAQ

A double-ended drill bit offers two cutting ends on a single tool. When one end becomes dull, you can simply flip the bit around and use the other end, effectively doubling the life of the tool.

This drill bit is designed for all types of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It is particularly effective on sheet metal and thin gauge materials.

The SST surface treatment increases the lubricity of the drill bit. This reduces friction during drilling, which in turn lowers heat buildup and extends the life of the cutting edge.

No, the Walter 01K010 features a self-centering point that prevents the bit from 'walking' or wandering across the surface, allowing you to start drilling immediately without a center punch.

This is a 'stub' drill bit. The shorter length provides greater rigidity and strength, reducing the likelihood of the bit snapping or flexing when pressure is applied.

Yes, the 5/32" size and stubby, rigid design make it an excellent choice for drilling out rivets in automotive and fabrication applications.

The diameter of this specific drill bit is 5/32 of an inch.

It features a 'High Flow' flute design which is engineered to evacuate chips more efficiently than standard designs, allowing for faster drilling speeds.
