OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Drilling Performance for Industrial Applications

The Walter #14 SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (SKU: 01B514) represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial maintenance and fabrication environments. Designed to address the common challenges of drilling through tough alloys, this bit is crafted from a premium cobalt blend that provides exceptional heat resistance and hardness. This composition is critical for maintaining a sharp cutting edge when processing work-hardening materials such as stainless steel, ensuring consistent performance over a longer service life compared to standard high-speed steel bits.

Efficiency in production is driven by the SST+ bit's unique geometry. It features an exclusive self-centering "Speed Tip" that bites into the material immediately upon contact. This design eliminates the phenomenon of bit walking, thereby removing the necessity for pre-drilling center punches—a significant time-saver in high-volume operations. Furthermore, the bit utilizes a special bronze SST surface treatment which acts to reduce friction coefficient during the cut. Lower friction translates to less heat generation, which is the primary cause of drill bit failure in industrial settings.

The structural design of the 01B514 includes a back tapered body and a high-flow flute configuration. The back taper reduces the surface area in contact with the hole walls, effectively preventing binding and breakage, while the optimized flutes rapidly evacuate chips and debris. Whether utilized in stationary drill presses or portable hand drills, the Walter SST+ #14 delivers reliable, precise holes in mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel, making it an essential component of any professional tool crib.

FAQ

It is designed for a wide range of materials including mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and is particularly effective on stainless steel due to its cobalt blend.

No, the exclusive self-centering Speed Tip allows you to drill directly without center punching, as it prevents the bit from walking.

The bronze SST treatment reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, which minimizes heat buildup and extends the life of the drill bit.

Yes, the SST+ bits are designed for superior performance in both portable hand drills and stationary drill presses.

A #14 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of approximately 0.1820 inches.

The back tapered body design reduces the contact area with the side of the hole, which prevents the bit from binding or getting stuck during deep drilling.

Yes, the self-centering tip and robust design make it excellent for drilling on round surfaces like pipes and tubing without slipping.

While cobalt increases hardness and heat resistance, Walter's specific blend is engineered to balance hardness with toughness to resist breakage under normal use.
