01J009 - Walter # 9 Sst Stub Drill

The Ultimate Drill Bit for Fabricators

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job, especially when working with tough materials like stainless steel or thin sheet metal. The Walter 01J009 #9 SST Stub Drill is designed to solve exactly that problem. Unlike standard length bits that can flex, bend, and eventually snap under pressure, this stub drill is built short and stout. This compact design gives the bit incredible rigidity, making it virtually unbreakable during normal use. It is the perfect companion for body work, HVAC fabrication, and any welding project where you need to drill out spot welds or create rivet holes in sheet metal.

When you are out in the field or working in a tight corner of the shop, you don't always have the luxury of a drill press. You are often leaning into a hand drill, trying to keep it straight. This is where the Walter SST Stub Drill shines. Its short flutes allow you to apply the necessary feed pressure without the bit wandering off the mark. The heavy-duty split point tip bites into the metal instantly—even on round tubing or polished stainless—so you don't have to worry about the bit skating across your workpiece and ruining the finish. It centers itself, allowing you to drill clean, accurate holes faster and with less effort.

Durability is key when you are billing for your time. This isn't just a standard high-speed steel bit; it is crafted from a special cobalt blend that resists the intense heat generated when drilling hard metals. If you work with stainless steel, you know it work-hardens quickly if your bit dulls or overheats. The Walter 01J009 stays sharp longer, cutting through stainless, mild steel, and aluminum with ease. The bronze surface treatment helps chips slide out of the hole smoothly, preventing binding and further extending the life of the tool.

Add the Walter #9 SST Stub Drill to your toolbox and experience the difference that professional-grade tooling makes. Whether you are drilling out broken bolts, prepping surfaces for welding, or installing hardware, this bit delivers the performance you need to get the job done right the first time. Stop wasting money on cheap bits that break and burn out; invest in a solution that works as hard as you do.
