OVERVIEW

Tough Bits for Tough Jobs

When you are welding or fabricating in tight quarters, a standard length drill bit can be more of a hindrance than a help. Enter the Walter 7/16" SST Stub Drill, a compact powerhouse designed to fit where other drills can't while delivering superior strength. Known as a "stub" or screw machine drill, its shorter length makes it incredibly rigid. This means you can apply more pressure without worrying about the bit snapping or flexing off-center, saving you frustration and money on replacement bits.

This drill bit is a favorite among welders for its ability to eat through stainless steel and sheet metal. It features a 135-degree split point that bites into the metal the instant it touches the surface. You can say goodbye to walking bits and the extra step of using a center punch. Whether you are drilling out spot welds, making holes for rivets, or prepping a chassis, this bit stays on target. The special bronze SST coating isn't just for looks; it acts as a heat shield and lubricant, keeping the cutting edge cooler and sharper for longer, even when you are drilling through hard alloys.

Perfect for portable drills and stationary presses alike, the Walter SST Stub Drill is the reliable choice for thin-walled materials. Because it doesn't flex, it produces round, burr-free holes that are ready for the next step in your fabrication process. Add this 7/16" stub drill to your toolbox and experience the difference a professional-grade cutting tool makes in your daily workflow.

FAQ

Stub drills are shorter, which makes them significantly more rigid. This rigidity reduces flexing and breakage, allows for higher feed pressure, and is ideal for drilling in tight spaces or on hard materials.

No, the Walter SST Stub Drill features a 135° split point that is self-centering. It prevents the bit from 'walking' on the surface, allowing you to drill directly without a pilot hole or center punch.

Yes, the SST (Super Speed Treatment) bronze coating and heavy-duty HSS construction make it excellent for drilling stainless steel, as well as mild steel and non-ferrous metals.

SST stands for Super Speed Treatment. It refers to the special bronze surface treatment applied to the bit which helps dissipate heat and reduce friction, extending the life of the tool.

Absolutely. The short length and 135° point make it perfect for sheet metal, as it cuts quickly and cleanly without deforming thin materials.

This specific drill bit (SKU 01H128) has a cutting diameter of 7/16 inches.

While the product name includes 'Hex', standard Walter 01H series stub drills typically feature round shanks or shanks with flats for chuck grip. Please verify your specific chuck requirements, but generally, these fit standard 3-jaw chucks.
