01A518 - Walter SST+ 9/32" Cobalt Drill Bit for Stainless Steel

Stop Burning Bits on Stainless Steel

Every welder knows the frustration of grabbing a drill bit to make a hole in a stainless steel bracket, only to have the bit smoke, squeal, and dull out before it even breaks through the surface. The Walter 9/32" SST+ Drill Bit (01A518) is the solution to that headache. Built tough with a special cobalt blend, this bit is designed to eat through hard metals without losing its temper. It handles the heat that kills cheap bits, giving you more holes per dollar and less downtime swapping out snapped or dull tools.

What makes this bit a favorite in the shop is how it handles. Thanks to its self-centering point, you can put this bit right on a piece of pipe or a rounded corner, pull the trigger, and it bites instantly. No more skating across the metal and scratching up your workpiece. You don't even need to waste time with a center punch. The "High Flow" flute design pulls chips out of the hole fast, which keeps the bit cooler and stops the metal from hardening up on you. This means you can drill faster with less pressure.

Whether you are installing hardware, fabricating custom frames, or doing general repair work, the Walter SST+ is the reliable workhorse you need in your index. It works just as well on aluminum and mild steel as it does on stainless. Plus, the bronze surface treatment helps it slide through the material smoothly, which is a huge plus if you are running a cordless drill and want to save your battery. Upgrade to a bit that actually works as hard as you do.
