01H118 - Walter 9/32 Hex Sst Stub Drill

Precision Drilling for Metal Fabrication

Fabricators and welders often face the challenge of drilling accurate holes in tight quarters or through tough alloys. The Walter 01H118 9/32" Hex SST Stub Drill is specifically designed to meet these challenges head-on. With its robust construction and advanced engineering, this drill bit is a staple for any industrial MRO toolkit, offering superior performance on mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel.

Rigid Design for Sheet Metal

One of the primary advantages of this stub drill is its length. Because it is shorter than a standard drill bit, it offers exceptional torsional strength. This rigidity is particularly beneficial when drilling through sheet metal or curved surfaces, as it prevents the bit from flexing and walking off the mark. The result is a perfectly round hole every time, with minimal burr formation on the exit side. This makes it an excellent choice for autobody work, HVAC installation, and general metal fabrication.

No-Slip Hex Shank Technology

Slipping drill bits can damage workpieces and ruin chuck jaws. The Walter SST Stub Drill features a specially designed Hex shank that guarantees a secure grip in both standard three-jaw chucks and 1/4" quick-change impact drivers. This feature allows welders and fitters to switch tools instantly, maintaining workflow momentum. Whether you are using a portable hand drill or a stationary drill press, the hex shank ensures that the rotational force is applied directly to the cutting edge.

Long-Lasting Performance

Heat is the enemy of any cutting tool. Walter's exclusive SST (Super Speed Tip) bronze surface treatment provides a thermal barrier that helps evacuate chips and reduce heat buildup at the cutting point. Combined with the heavy-duty high-speed steel construction, this treatment extends the life of the bit significantly. The 135° split point further aids in longevity by distributing cutting forces evenly and preventing the tip from dulling prematurely. For reliable, high-speed drilling in the toughest environments, trust Walter's SST Stub Drills.
