01W012 - Walter 1/4-1 3/8 Multi-Step Drill

The Ultimate Step Bit for Fabricators

For welders and fabricators, time is money, and swapping out drill bits for every different hole size is a waste of both. The Walter 01W012 Multi-Step Drill Bit is the solution for fast, efficient hole making in the shop or on the job site. Designed specifically for sheet metal applications, this tool is a powerhouse when it comes to cutting clean, round holes in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum up to 1/8 inch thick. With a drilling range of 1/4 inch to 1-3/8 inches, it acts as an entire drill index in a single bit.

One of the biggest frustrations with standard step bits is their tendency to dull quickly when used on stainless steel. Walter has solved this with a premium titanium coating that shields the cutting edge from the intense heat generated during drilling. This means you get more holes per bit and maintain a sharp edge longer. The geometry of the bit is equally impressive; the two wide flutes are engineered to eject chips aggressively, keeping the cut cool and preventing the bit from binding or overheating the material.

Starting a hole on a slick sheet of metal can be tricky, but this bit features a self-centering tip that bites instantly. You won't need to waste time grabbing a hammer and punch; just line it up and pull the trigger. It is also exceptionally stable, designed to eliminate the vibration and chatter that can leave jagged, ugly edges. Whether you are installing gauges, running conduit, or modifying a chassis, the Walter Multi-Step Drill Bit provides the professional finish and reliability you need to get the job done right the first time.

Why Welders Choose This Bit:

• No Walking: Starts on contact without a pilot hole.
• Clean Cuts: Leaves virtually burr-free holes that are ready for welding or assembly.
• Long Life: Titanium coating stands up to the rigors of daily shop use.
