OVERVIEW

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST+ Technology

The Walter SST+ 3/16" Drill Bit (SKU: 01A512) represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial applications. Designed to tackle the most demanding materials, this drill bit is crafted from a premium cobalt blend that provides exceptional hardness and heat resistance. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits that can dull quickly when facing tough alloys, the SST+ maintains its cutting edge longer, ensuring consistent performance even in high-production environments. The inclusion of cobalt allows the bit to withstand the elevated temperatures generated when drilling through hard metals like stainless steel, significantly extending the tool's lifespan.

One of the standout features of the 01A512 is its exclusive Bronze SST surface treatment. This specialized coating serves a dual purpose: it reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, and it facilitates smoother drilling action. Reduced friction means less heat buildup, which is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of both the bit and the material being drilled. Furthermore, the bit is engineered with a unique "High Flow" flute design. This geometry is optimized to evacuate chips rapidly from the hole, preventing clogging and binding that can lead to bit breakage or poor hole quality. Whether you are working with mild steel, non-ferrous metals, or hardened stainless steel, the chip removal capability of this bit ensures a clean, precise finish every time.

Durability is at the core of the Walter SST+ design. The heavy-duty fully ground body construction provides the rigidity needed for accurate drilling without flexing or wandering. This makes it an excellent choice for precision work where hole placement and size tolerance are critical. The self-centering point eliminates the need for a center punch, allowing operators to start holes exactly where intended without the bit "walking" across the surface. Suitable for use with both portable power drills and stationary drill presses, the Walter 3/16" SST+ bit is a versatile and indispensable tool for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals who demand reliability and speed.

FAQ

The Walter SST+ is designed to drill through a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum. Its cobalt blend makes it particularly effective for hard metals.

No, the Walter SST+ features a self-centering split point that prevents walking, allowing you to start drilling precisely without needing to pre-punch the material.

The Bronze SST treatment reduces friction during drilling, which lowers heat generation and allows for faster drilling speeds and longer bit life.

Yes, the Walter SST+ is engineered for stability and is excellent for use in both portable hand drills and stationary drill presses.

The High Flow design is optimized to evacuate chips quickly from the hole. This prevents clogging and heat buildup, which are common causes of bit failure.

Yes, the self-centering point makes it ideal for drilling on curved surfaces like pipes and tubes because it resists slipping off the mark.

Cobalt increases the heat resistance and hardness of the bit, allowing it to maintain a sharp cutting edge even when drilling through tough, heat-generating materials like stainless steel.
