OVERVIEW

The Tough Bit for Tight Spots

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job, especially when working in a cramped wheel well or inside a frame rail. The Walter 01H028 7/16" SST Stub Drill is the solution to that headache. Designed with a shorter flute and overall length, this "stubby" bit is built to take a beating. The shorter profile doesn't just fit into tight spaces where a standard bit won't go; it also makes the bit incredibly rigid. You can lean into it with a hand drill without worrying about it flexing and snapping off in your workpiece.

Drilling stainless steel or drilling out spot welds requires a bit that bites instantly. Thanks to the 135° split point, this Walter drill starts cutting the moment it touches the metal. You don't need to waste time grabbing a center punch or worrying about the bit wandering across your fresh finish. It digs in and cuts clean, making it perfect for drilling rivet holes in sheet metal or prepping heavy plate for fabrication.

Walter has treated this bit with their Bronze SST coating, which helps shed heat and keeps the cutting edge sharp. When you are drilling through mild steel, aluminum, or tough stainless, this bit stays cool and keeps cutting long after cheap bits have burned up. Add the Walter 01H028 to your toolbox for those moments when you need a reliable, heavy-duty hole maker that won't let you down in the middle of a fabrication project.

FAQ

Stub drill bits, also known as screw machine length drills, are shorter than standard jobber bits. This makes them much more rigid and resistant to breakage, which is ideal for heavy-duty drilling or working in tight spaces.

Yes, the Walter SST Stub Drill is specifically designed with a heavy-duty web and bronze surface treatment to effectively drill through tough materials like stainless steel.

No, the 135° split point geometry is self-centering, which prevents the bit from 'walking' and allows you to start drilling directly on the material surface.

The diameter is 7/16 of an inch.

Absolutely. The shorter length reduces the chance of snapping the bit if you accidentally angle the drill, making it excellent for portable hand drill applications.

The Bronze SST surface treatment improves lubricity and heat resistance, helping to evacuate chips smoothly and extending the life of the tool.

It features a 135-degree point angle, which is flatter than the standard 118-degree point, providing better engagement in hard materials.
