01A008A - Walter 1/8-Inch SST Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST Technology

The Walter 1/8" SST Jobber Drill Bit represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for maintenance, repair, and fabrication professionals. Engineered with a proprietary cobalt blend, this drill bit is designed to withstand the high temperatures generated during aggressive drilling applications, ensuring a longer service life compared to standard high-speed steel bits. The core of its performance lies in the heavy-duty, fully ground body construction which provides exceptional rigidity and precision, making it a reliable choice for critical drilling tasks.

One of the standout features of this tool is the innovative Quick Shank. In modern industrial environments, efficiency is paramount, and the Quick Shank addresses a common frustration: bit slippage. By incorporating a specialized shank design, this bit locks securely into both keyed and keyless chucks, ensuring maximum torque transmission. This feature is particularly beneficial when using cordless drills, as it prevents the energy loss associated with slipping, thereby allowing users to drill more holes per battery charge. It transforms the cordless drill into a more effective tool for continuous industrial use.

Precision is further enhanced by the exclusive self-centering "Speed Tip." This geometry allows the operator to start drilling immediately without the need for a center punch, even on curved surfaces or round stock. The tip bites into the material instantly, preventing the "walking" effect often seen with inferior bits. Combined with a back-tapered body that reduces friction along the flutes, the Walter SST bit delivers clean, accurate holes in mild steel, aluminum, and thin gauge sheet metal. The bronze SST surface treatment adds a final layer of protection, reducing heat buildup and facilitating smooth chip evacuation.

Whether you are working with non-ferrous metals or requiring precise holes in thin gauge materials, the Walter 01A008A offers a blend of durability and smart engineering. It is an essential addition to any professional toolkit, providing the reliability needed for high-volume drilling operations.
