OVERVIEW

The Welder's Choice for Precision and Speed

For welders and fabricators, a drill bit is more than just a consumable; it's a key component in the assembly and finishing process. The Walter #60 SST+ Jobber Drill Bit is built to handle the diverse challenges of the welding workshop. Whether you are prepping a surface for a rivet, creating pilot holes, or fabricating intricate metal parts, this bit delivers the accuracy you need. At the heart of its design is the self-centering Speed Tip. This feature allows you to start drilling immediately without the need for a center punch, preventing the bit from "walking" across the surface and marring your workpiece.

Drilling through stainless steel is often a frustration for welders due to its tendency to harden as it heats up. Walter has solved this with a proprietary cobalt blend material that thrives in high-temperature applications. This means you can drill more holes per bit, saving money on replacements and time on tool changes. The #60 size (approximately 0.040 inches) is perfect for fine detail work where precision is critical. The bit's body is also back-tapered, a subtle engineering detail that reduces surface contact on the sides of the bit, minimizing friction and allowing for smoother, cooler cutting action.

Compatibility is key in a busy shop. The Walter SST+ is designed for use with both portable hand drills and stationary drill presses. Its round shank fits securely in standard chucks, providing a concentric rotation that ensures round, true-to-size holes every time. From aluminum and mild steel to the toughest stainless grades, the 01B560 is the reliable workhorse your toolbox needs. Stop struggling with burnt-out bits and experience the difference of professional-grade cutting technology.

Why Welders Prefer SST+:

  • No Walking: Speed Tip bites instantly for pinpoint accuracy.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Resists snapping even under torque.
  • Multi-Material Use: One bit for steel, stainless, and aluminum.

FAQ

A #60 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of 0.0400 inches (approximately 1.016 mm).

Yes, the SST+ series is specifically engineered with a cobalt blend to drill through hard materials like stainless steel effectively.

No, the Walter SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that prevents walking, allowing you to drill directly without a center punch.

The bronze surface treatment reduces friction and heat buildup, which helps prevent the workpiece from work-hardening and extends the life of the bit.

Yes, the Walter SST+ is versatile and works excellently on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as well as mild and stainless steel.

The High Flow design refers to the geometry of the flutes which are optimized to evacuate chips quickly, preventing clogging and bit breakage.

As a standard jobber length bit in size #60, it typically has an overall length of approximately 1-5/8 inches, though exact specs can vary slightly by batch.

Cobalt improves the heat resistance and hardness of the steel, allowing the bit to maintain its cutting edge at higher temperatures common when drilling hard metals.
