01W101 - Walter 1/8-1/2 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 productivity killer. The Walter 01W101 Multi-Step Drill Bit is the solution you need in your toolbox. Designed specifically for the demands of metal fabrication, this step bit allows you to drill and enlarge holes ranging from 1/8 inch up to 1/2 inch without ever changing the tool in your drill. Whether you are installing electrical knockouts, mounting brackets, or fabricating custom sheet metal panels, this bit handles it all with ease. It is specifically rated for materials up to 1/8 inch thick, making it the perfect companion for working with sheet steel, aluminum, and stainless steel enclosures.

Durability is a major concern when drilling hard metals like stainless steel. Standard high-speed steel bits can dull quickly, leading to frustration and wasted money. Walter has addressed this by equipping the 01W101 with a premium titanium coating. This tough layer protects the cutting edges from wear and heat, keeping the bit sharper for longer. You will notice the difference immediately: the bit cuts smoother, stays cooler, and lasts significantly longer than uncoated alternatives. The design also features a self-centering tip, which means you can say goodbye to walking bits and the extra step of using a center punch. Just line it up, pull the trigger, and get a perfectly placed hole instantly.

Beyond durability, the cut quality is exceptional. The two-flute design prevents the annoying chatter and vibration that often occurs with inferior step bits. This results in perfectly round holes with clean edges, saving you the hassle of filing or grinding away burrs afterwards. It effectively eliminates the accumulation of chips that can slow you down, ensuring a smooth workflow. Whether you are in the shop or out on a job site, the Walter 01W101 Multi-Step Drill Bit offers the reliability and performance professional welders expect from their tools. Upgrade your drilling game and experience the convenience of having a complete drill index in a single, high-quality bit.
