01D560 - Walter 6.00Mm Sst Drill Bit

Precision Drilling for Professional Fabricators

For professional welders and fabricators, the quality of a hole often dictates the quality of the final assembly. The Walter 01D560 6.00mm SST+ Drill Bit is engineered to deliver superior precision and speed, particularly when working with challenging materials like stainless steel. This bit is part of Walter's renowned SST+ line, which is synonymous with heavy-duty performance. The core of its performance lies in its cobalt blend construction, which allows the bit to maintain its hardness even at the high temperatures generated when drilling through work-hardened alloys.

Fabricators often face the challenge of drilling into round or irregular surfaces, such as piping or structural tubing. Standard bits tend to "walk" or wander before biting into the metal, damaging the surface finish and misaligning the hole. The Walter SST+ 6.00mm bit features a geometry designed to bite immediately upon contact, allowing for accurate drilling on round surfaces without the need for excessive center punching. This capability is enhanced by the back tapered body, which reduces the contact area between the bit and the hole walls, minimizing drag and the risk of the bit jamming mid-cut.

Efficiency in the shop is driven by speed and reliability. The high-flow flute design of the 01D560 ensures that swarf and chips are ejected rapidly. This is crucial when drilling stainless steel, as recutting chips can cause work-hardening of the material, making it nearly impossible to finish the hole. By clearing the path effectively, this bit allows for faster feed rates and cleaner holes. The bronze SST surface treatment adds another layer of protection, reducing heat generation and ensuring a smooth finish.

Fabrication Advantages:

• Superior Chip Removal: High flow flutes prevent clogging and heat buildup.
• Versatile Application: Excellent for stainless, mild steel, and aluminum fabrication.
• Reliable Geometry: Back tapering prevents binding, ensuring smooth retraction after drilling.
