01W112 - Walter Titanium Coated Multi-Step Drill Bit 1/4-1 3/8 Inch

High-Performance Multi-Step Drilling Solution

The Walter 01W112 Multi-Step Drill is a precision-engineered tool designed to streamline hole creation and enlargement in thin-gauge materials. Engineered for industrial environments, this bit covers a versatile range of diameters from 1/4 inch to 1-3/8 inches, effectively replacing multiple standard twist drills. The tool is specifically optimized for materials up to 1/8 inch thick, making it an essential asset for sheet metal fabrication, electrical panel work, and HVAC installations.

Central to its performance is a special titanium coating that significantly increases surface hardness and heat resistance. This coating reduces friction during the drilling process, thereby extending the lifespan of the cutting edges even when working with abrasive or hard materials like stainless steel. The bit features a two-wide-flute geometry which serves a dual purpose: it facilitates rapid chip evacuation to prevent clogging and stabilizes the bit to eliminate chatter, ensuring a perfectly round hole every time.

The 01W112 is equipped with a self-centering split point, which bites into the material immediately upon contact. This feature negates the need for a center punch or pilot hole, improving workflow efficiency and accuracy. Whether used in a handheld drill or a drill press, the shank is designed to prevent slippage, ensuring torque transfer is maintained throughout the cut.
