01A006 - Walter 3/32 Inch SST Cobalt Drill Bit with Quick Shank

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST Technology

The Walter 01A006 3/32" SST Jobber Drill Bit represents a significant leap forward in drilling efficiency for industrial maintenance and fabrication. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this bit is crafted from a proprietary high-quality cobalt blend, designed to withstand the high temperatures generated during continuous drilling applications. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits, the SST series maintains its cutting edge longer, reducing downtime associated with bit changes and sharpening. The core strength of this tool lies in its heavy-duty, fully ground body construction, which provides the rigidity necessary for precision work in professional environments.

A standout feature of the 01A006 is the exclusive Quick Shank design. In high-torque applications, round shanks often slip within the chuck, damaging both the bit and the tool holder. The Quick Shank geometry ensures a positive lock in both keyed and keyless chucks, transmitting 100% of the drill's torque to the cutting face. This secure grip is particularly beneficial when drilling through tough materials or multiple layers of thin gauge metal, where resistance can fluctuate. The bit also features a back-tapered body, a subtle engineering detail that reduces sidewall friction, preventing binding and further reducing heat accumulation.

Efficiency is paramount in MRO operations, and the Walter SST bit delivers with its self-centering "Speed Tip." This advanced point geometry eliminates the need for pre-punching or pilot holes, allowing operators to start drilling immediately with pinpoint accuracy. The specialized bronze SST surface treatment acts as a lubricant and heat shield, facilitating smooth chip evacuation and preventing material adhesion. Whether working with mild steel, aluminum, or non-ferrous metals, this drill bit offers a reliable, high-performance solution that meets the rigorous demands of Canadian industry.

Key Industrial Benefits

• Torque Transmission: Quick Shank design eliminates slippage, ensuring maximum power transfer.
• Longevity: Cobalt blend and bronze treatment extend tool life significantly over standard HSS.
• Precision: Self-centering tip prevents walking, ensuring accurate hole placement every time.
