01J005 - Walter # 5 Sst Stub Drill

Heavy-Duty Walter #5 Cobalt Stub Drill Bit

When you are out in the shop or on a job site, a broken drill bit is more than just an annoyance—it's a delay you can't afford. The Walter #5 SST Stub Drill is built to withstand the abuse of heavy-duty metalworking. Known in the industry as a "stub" or screw machine length bit, this tool features a shorter overall length than standard bits. This compact design gives the bit incredible strength and resistance to snapping, making it the perfect choice for drilling into sheet metal, auto body panels, and structural steel where side-loading might occur.

This isn't your average hardware store drill bit. Walter has crafted this tool using a high-performance cobalt blend. Cobalt bits are essential for welding and fabrication professionals because they maintain their hardness at much higher temperatures than standard steel bits. If you frequently drill stainless steel, you know how quickly it can destroy a lesser bit. The Walter SST Stub Drill powers through hard alloys, maintaining a sharp cutting edge hole after hole. The unique bronze surface treatment further aids the process by reducing friction, allowing for cleaner cuts with less effort.

Accuracy is key in fabrication, and this bit delivers. The split point tip is designed to penetrate immediately. You won't have to worry about the bit sliding off your mark, scratching the workpiece, or damaging adjacent areas. It is specifically optimized for use on both round surfaces and flat sheets. Whether you are drilling out rivets, creating pilot holes, or fabricating custom brackets, the Walter #5 SST Stub Drill offers the reliability and performance professional welders demand.
