The Walter 5/32" SST Double-End Stub Drill (01K010) represents the pinnacle of efficiency for industrial drilling operations involving thin materials and sheet metal. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this tool is designed to address the common failure points of standard drill bits in high-throughput environments. By utilizing a proprietary Cobalt HSS alloy blend, this bit delivers exceptional hardness and heat resistance, far surpassing the capabilities of standard black oxide alternatives.
One of the standout features of this model is its SST surface treatment. This specialized coating drastically increases lubricity at the cutting edge, reducing friction and heat buildup—the primary enemies of drill bit longevity. Combined with Walter's "High Flow" flute geometry, the bit evacuates chips rapidly, preventing clogging and ensuring a clean, precise hole every time. The stub length design adds critical rigidity, minimizing the flex that often leads to breakage in longer bits, making it an ideal choice for CNC operations or handheld drilling where stability is paramount.
Efficiency is further maximized by the double-ended design. When one side eventually dulls after extensive use, the operator can simply flip the bit to utilize a fresh cutting edge, effectively doubling the tool's lifespan and reducing inventory costs. The self-centering point geometry ensures immediate engagement with the material, eliminating the walking effect and the need for pre-punching, which streamlines the fabrication workflow significantly.
