OVERVIEW

High-Performance Drilling for Industrial Applications

The Walter 01A527 SST+ Drill Bit (27/64") is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Designed with a proprietary cobalt blend, this tool addresses the common challenges associated with drilling hard ferrous metals, particularly stainless steel. The metallurgical composition provides superior hot hardness, allowing the bit to maintain its cutting edge even under the high thermal loads generated during continuous drilling operations.

A key technical advantage of the SST+ series is its "high flow" flute geometry. This design optimization ensures rapid and efficient chip evacuation, which is critical for preventing heat buildup and work-hardening of the material. Coupled with a heavy-duty, fully ground body, the bit offers exceptional structural integrity and concentricity, minimizing the risk of breakage and ensuring precise hole sizing. The exclusive Bronze SST surface treatment further enhances performance by reducing the coefficient of friction between the tool and the workpiece, thereby lowering torque requirements and extending tool life.

For professionals requiring precision and efficiency, the SST+ drill bit features a self-centering point that eliminates the need for center punching, even on curved surfaces such as pipes or shafts. This capability significantly streamlines workflow in complex fabrication environments. Whether utilized in stationary drill presses or portable power tools, the 01A527 delivers consistent, reliable results across a spectrum of materials including mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel alloys.

FAQ

It is made from a high-performance cobalt blend high-speed steel, designed to resist high heat and abrasion.

Yes, the SST+ series is specifically engineered for drilling stainless steel and other hard metals effectively.

Generally no; it features a self-centering point that prevents walking, allowing you to start drilling directly, even on round surfaces.

The Bronze SST treatment reduces friction during drilling, which lowers heat generation and extends the overall life of the tool.

The 01A527 has a diameter of 27/64 inches.

Yes, it is designed for use with all portable drilling applications as well as stationary machines.

The 'high flow' flute design accelerates chip evacuation, preventing clogging and reducing heat buildup in the hole.

Yes, it is suitable for non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as well as mild and stainless steel.
