01B541 - Walter SST+ Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit, Wire Gauge #41, Heavy Duty

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST+ Technology

The Walter SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (Size #41) represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial applications. Engineered to tackle the toughest materials, this drill bit is manufactured from a proprietary cobalt blend that provides exceptional hardness and heat resistance. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits that dull quickly when facing hard alloys, the SST+ maintains its cutting edge even under high-stress conditions, making it the premier choice for drilling stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals.

At the core of its performance is the exclusive "Speed Tip" design. This self-centering 135° split point geometry allows the operator to start drilling immediately upon contact with the workpiece, eliminating the need for center punching or pilot holes. This feature is particularly advantageous when working on round or curved surfaces where standard bits tend to "walk" or slip. The precision of the Speed Tip ensures that every hole is located exactly where intended, reducing scrap rates and improving overall fabrication quality.

Thermal management is critical in metal drilling, and the Walter SST+ excels in this area. The bit features a unique bronze SST surface treatment that significantly reduces friction between the tool and the material. Combined with a back-tapered body design, this minimizes heat buildup—the primary cause of premature tool failure. Furthermore, the "High Flow" flute geometry is specifically designed to evacuate chips rapidly from the hole. Efficient chip removal prevents clogging and reduces the torque required to drill, allowing for faster feed rates and less strain on your drilling equipment.

Whether utilized in a stationary drill press for production runs or a portable hand drill for maintenance and repair tasks, the Walter 01B541 delivers consistent, reliable performance. It is an essential tool for professionals who demand efficiency, precision, and longevity from their cutting tools.
