OVERVIEW

Drill Stainless Steel Faster and Easier

If you are tired of burning through cheap drill bits when working with stainless steel, the Walter SST+ #8 Jobber Drill Bit is the solution you need. Built for professional welders and fabricators, this bit is made with a heavy-duty cobalt blend that resists the intense heat generated when drilling through hard metals. It cuts faster, stays sharper longer, and saves you money on replacements in the long run.

One of the biggest frustrations in drilling is the bit skating across the metal before it bites. Walter has solved this with their exclusive Speed Tip. This self-centering design bites into the metal immediately, so you don't have to waste time using a center punch or worrying about scratching up your workpiece. It gives you precise control right from the start, which is critical when you are working on expensive materials or finished surfaces.

The design of the bit also helps you work more efficiently. The special flute shape pulls chips out of the hole quickly, preventing them from clogging up and overheating the bit. Plus, the bronze coating helps the bit slide through the metal with less resistance. Whether you are drilling out broken bolts, fabricating brackets, or installing hardware, the Walter 01B508 #8 bit is the reliable choice for getting the job done right the first time.
