01B510 - Walter SST+ Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit #10 Wire Gauge

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST+ Technology

The Walter 01B510 SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (#10) represents the pinnacle of drilling efficiency for industrial applications. Designed specifically to address the challenges of drilling through tough materials like stainless steel, this bit utilizes a proprietary cobalt blend that significantly enhances heat resistance and hardness. In MRO and fabrication environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, the SST+ series delivers reliable performance, maintaining its cutting edge far longer than standard high-speed steel bits. The #10 wire gauge size is a critical dimension for precision fabrication, and Walter has optimized this tool to ensure exact tolerances are met with every rotation.

One of the standout features of the 01B510 is its exclusive self-centering Speed Tip. Traditional drill bits often "walk" or wander across the workpiece before penetrating, necessitating the use of a center punch. The Speed Tip geometry bites into the material immediately upon contact, even on round or curved surfaces, streamlining the workflow and ensuring hole placement accuracy. This feature is particularly beneficial when working with polished metals where surface scratches from a wandering bit would be unacceptable.

Heat generation is the primary enemy of drill bit longevity, especially in work-hardening materials like stainless steel. Walter addresses this with a two-pronged approach: the High Flow flute design and the Bronze SST surface treatment. The specialized flute geometry is engineered to evacuate chips rapidly, preventing them from clogging the hole and retaining heat. Simultaneously, the bronze surface treatment acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the bit and the workpiece. Combined with a back-tapered body that prevents binding, these features allow the SST+ drill bit to operate at higher speeds while producing more holes per bit than competitors.

Whether utilized in a stationary drill press for repetitive manufacturing tasks or a portable hand drill for on-site maintenance, the Walter 01B510 delivers consistent, aggressive cutting action. It is the ideal choice for professionals demanding efficiency, precision, and durability in their cutting tools.
