01A523 - Walter SST+ 23/64 Inch Cobalt Drill Bit for Stainless Steel

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST+ Technology

The Walter 01A523 23/64" SST+ Drill Bit is a top-tier solution for industrial professionals who demand reliability and speed in their drilling operations. Part of Walter's renowned SST+ line, this drill bit is engineered using a specialized cobalt blend that significantly enhances its hardness and heat resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments where drilling through tough materials like stainless steel is a daily requirement. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits that may dull quickly under thermal stress, the SST+ maintains its cutting edge longer, ensuring consistent performance hole after hole.

One of the standout features of this drill bit is its "high flow" flute design. This geometry is specifically calculated to maximize chip evacuation, pulling debris away from the cutting zone rapidly. Efficient chip removal is critical in preventing heat buildup, which is the primary cause of premature tool failure. Coupled with a heavy-duty fully ground body, the bit offers exceptional structural integrity, reducing the risk of breakage even when used with portable hand drills in less-than-ideal positions.

The surface of the bit is treated with Walter's exclusive Bronze SST coating. This treatment not only identifies the premium nature of the tool but also serves a functional purpose by reducing friction between the bit and the workpiece. The result is a smoother drilling action that requires less feed pressure from the operator. Whether you are working on mild steel, non-ferrous metals, or challenging stainless steel alloys, the Walter 23/64" SST+ drill bit delivers the precision and durability needed to keep your projects moving forward efficiently.
