01A023A - Walter SST 23/64-Inch Cobalt Drill Bit with Quick Shank

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST Technology

The Walter 01A023A 23/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit is engineered for industrial professionals who demand reliability and precision in their metalworking tools. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, this drill bit features a proprietary high-performance cobalt blend that significantly enhances heat resistance and durability compared to standard high-speed steel bits. The robust construction allows for sustained drilling performance in demanding maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments.

One of the standout features of this bit is the exclusive self-centering "Speed Tip." This design innovation allows the operator to start drilling immediately without the need for a center punch, preventing the bit from "walking" across the workpiece. This is particularly advantageous when working with round surfaces or thin gauge metals where precision is critical. The body of the bit is back-tapered, a geometry that reduces friction on the side walls, thereby minimizing heat buildup and preventing galling.

Designed with modern tooling in mind, the Walter SST bit incorporates a unique Quick Shank. This shank design ensures a positive lock in both keyed and keyless chucks, eliminating the frustration of the bit spinning inside the chuck under high torque. This secure grip translates to better power transmission and efficiency. Finished with a special bronze SST surface treatment, this tool is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use while providing clean, accurate holes in mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.
