OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Drill Bit for Fabricators and Welders

For welders and metal fabricators, time is money, and a slipping drill bit is a frustration you can't afford. The Walter 01A009 9/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit is designed to solve the most common headaches encountered in the shop or on the job site. The most immediate benefit you will notice is the Quick Shank. Unlike traditional round bits that can spin inside your drill chuck when they bite into the metal, the Quick Shank has specially designed flats that lock it in place. This means you get full power transfer from your drill to the metal, allowing you to power through mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals without stopping to retighten your chuck.

This bit is built tough for the harsh environment of a welding shop. It is crafted from a premium cobalt blend, which gives it the backbone to withstand the high heat generated when drilling through tough metals. Standard bits often burn up or dull quickly, but the Walter SST series keeps its edge, meaning fewer trips to the tool crib for replacements. The heavy-duty, fully ground body construction ensures that the bit runs true and resists snapping, even under the less-than-ideal conditions often found in field work. It is an essential consumable for anyone working with thin gauge metal or sheet metal fabrication.

Accuracy is key when prepping materials for welding or assembly. The Walter 01A009 features a self-centering Speed Tip that grabs the metal instantly upon contact. You can say goodbye to the center punch; simply line up your shot and pull the trigger. The bit won't wander, even on round stock or pipe, ensuring your holes are exactly where they need to be. This feature, combined with the back-tapered body design that prevents binding, makes this bit a joy to use. It is specifically optimized for cordless drills, helping you get the most out of your battery life so you can keep working until the job is done.

FAQ

The Quick Shank features flat surfaces on the shank that allow the drill chuck to grip the bit more securely. This prevents the bit from spinning or slipping inside the chuck, especially during high-torque applications, and ensures better power transfer.

No, this bit features a self-centering "Speed Tip" that prevents the bit from walking or wandering on the surface, allowing you to start drilling accurately without a center punch.

It is excellent for drilling mild steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and thin gauge sheet metal. The cobalt blend construction handles the heat generated by these materials effectively.

Yes, the Walter SST bits are specifically optimized for cordless drills. The efficient cutting geometry and non-slip shank help maximize battery life by allowing you to drill more holes per charge.

The cobalt blend provides higher heat resistance compared to standard High-Speed Steel (HSS). This allows the bit to stay sharp longer, even when drilling through tougher materials that generate significant heat.

Yes, the self-centering tip makes it ideal for drilling into round surfaces like pipes and tubing because it bites into the material immediately without sliding off.

The 01A009 has a diameter of 9/64 inches.

The back-tapered body design reduces the surface area in contact with the side of the hole, which minimizes friction and prevents the bit from binding or getting stuck as you drill deeper.
