OVERVIEW

Maximize Efficiency with Walter SST Quick Shank Drill Bits

The Walter 11/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit (01A011A) represents a leap forward in drilling technology, specifically designed to meet the demands of modern industrial professionals. In an era where cordless power tools are the standard on job sites, having accessories that optimize battery life and tool performance is crucial. This drill bit features Walter's exclusive Quick Shank design, a specialized shank geometry that ensures a secure, slip-free grip in both keyed and keyless chucks. This secure connection translates to better torque transfer, preventing the frustrating bit slippage that often occurs under heavy load, thereby protecting both the bit and your drill's chuck jaws.

Beyond its connection mechanism, the core of this bit is crafted from a premium cobalt blend. This material choice is deliberate, offering exceptional heat resistance and hardness compared to standard high-speed steel. This makes the SST Jobber bit particularly effective for drilling through mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals without losing its temper or dulling prematurely. The heavy-duty fully ground body construction ensures that the bit maintains its structural integrity even during rigorous use in fabrication shops or maintenance environments.

One of the standout features for precision work is the Speed Tip. This self-centering tip design allows you to start holes exactly where you need them without the bit "walking" across the surface. This eliminates the need for center punching in many applications, saving you time and effort. The back-tapered body further enhances performance by reducing friction against the sidewalls of the hole, which minimizes heat buildup—the primary enemy of drill bit longevity. Whether you are working on thin gauge sheet metal or drilling into round surfaces like piping, the Walter SST 11/64" bit delivers clean, round holes with speed and consistency.

Key Benefits for the Professional:

  • Cordless Optimization: Engineered to drill more holes per battery charge, keeping you working longer.
  • Precision Starts: The Speed Tip prevents wandering, ensuring accuracy on smooth or curved surfaces.
  • Longer Life: Bronze SST surface treatment and cobalt blend resist heat and wear.

FAQ

The Quick Shank feature includes specially designed flats on the shank of the drill bit. This allows keyless chucks on cordless drills to grip the bit more securely, preventing it from spinning or slipping inside the chuck during high-torque applications.

While the cobalt blend provides excellent durability and heat resistance, this specific SST bit is optimized for mild steel, aluminum, and thin gauge metals. For dedicated stainless steel drilling, Walter offers specific high-performance bits, though this bit can handle occasional stainless work if used at the correct speed.

The Speed Tip is a self-centering point geometry that prevents the drill bit from 'walking' or skating across the surface of the material when you start drilling. This eliminates the need for a center punch and ensures precise hole placement.

Yes, the Walter SST drill bit is specifically engineered for cordless drills. Its efficient cutting geometry and Quick Shank design help maximize the number of holes you can drill per battery charge.

This bit is designed for use on aluminum, mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and thin gauge sheet metal. It is also effective for drilling into round surfaces due to its self-centering tip.

This specific product (SKU 01A011A) has a diameter of 11/64 inches.

No, thanks to the self-centering Speed Tip, you generally do not need a pilot hole or a center punch to start drilling, even on curved surfaces.

The bit features a special bronze SST surface treatment which helps to reduce friction, improve heat dissipation, and extend the overall life of the tool.
