01W029 - Walter 1/4"-1" Multi-Step Drill

The Ultimate Step Bit for Fabricators

Fabricators know that time is money, and swapping out drill bits for every different hole size is a major productivity killer. Enter the Walter 1/4"-1" Multi-Step Drill, a rugged and versatile tool designed to handle a wide range of hole sizes with a single bit. Whether you are installing gauges on a dashboard, running conduit through a panel, or fabricating custom brackets, this step bit allows you to drill accurate, clean holes from 1/4" all the way up to 1" without ever opening your chuck.

Durability is key in a welding and fabrication shop, and Walter has engineered this bit to last. It features a premium titanium coating that acts as a heat shield and wear barrier. When drilling through tough alloys like stainless steel, heat is the enemy of any cutting tool. The titanium coating helps dissipate that heat and reduces friction, ensuring that your step bit stays sharp hole after hole. This means fewer replacements and more consistent performance on the job site.

The geometry of the 01W029 is built for ease of use. It features a self-starting tip that bites into the metal immediately, preventing the bit from skating across your workpiece and scratching the finish. You can say goodbye to the hammer and center punch. Once the hole is started, the dual-flute design takes over, slicing through the metal and ejecting chips efficiently. This design minimizes vibration and chatter, which is critical when drilling thin sheet metal, preventing the material from deforming or tearing.

This tool is specifically rated for materials up to 1/8 inch thick, making it the ideal choice for sheet metal work, auto body repair, and electrical enclosures. It doesn't just drill; it can also be used to deburr the hole as you pass through to the next step size, leaving a smooth edge ready for bolts or grommets. Upgrade your toolbox with the Walter Multi-Step Drill and experience the difference that professional-grade tooling makes in your daily fabrication projects.
