01W011 - Walter 01W011 Titanium Coated Step Drill 1/4-3/4 Inch

Precision Hole Cutting with Walter Multi-Step Technology

The Walter 01W011 Multi-Step Drill Bit is an essential tool for professionals working with thin gauge metals. Engineered to deliver precision and efficiency, this drill bit covers a versatile range of hole sizes from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch, allowing fabricators to drill or enlarge holes without the hassle of constantly changing bits. It is specifically designed for materials up to 1/8 inch thick, making it the perfect choice for electrical panels, auto body work, and HVAC applications where sheet metal is common.

Durability is at the core of this tool's design. The bit features a high-quality titanium coating that provides exceptional resistance to heat and wear. This coating is particularly beneficial when drilling through tough materials like stainless steel, where friction heat can rapidly dull standard high-speed steel bits. By reducing friction and dissipating heat more effectively, the titanium coating ensures the cutting edges stay sharp longer, providing a better return on investment for industrial users.

Operational stability is achieved through its advanced geometry. The drill features a self-centering split point that bites into the material immediately upon contact. This eliminates the common issue of the bit "walking" across the surface, thereby removing the need for a center punch and ensuring precise hole placement every time. Furthermore, the two wide flutes are engineered to evacuate chips rapidly while preventing the accumulation of debris that can cause binding. This design also minimizes vibration, resulting in a chatter-free operation that leaves clean, burr-free holes requiring little to no secondary finishing.

Whether you are enlarging an existing hole or creating a new one from scratch, the Walter Multi-Step Drill Bit offers a smooth, controlled drilling experience. Its stepped design allows for gradual enlargement, reducing the strain on the drill motor and the operator. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use this bit with appropriate cutting lubricants, such as Walter Coolcut, to further extend tool life and improve surface finish.
