01B523 - Walter SST+ Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit #23 Wire Gauge

Precision Drilling with Walter SST+ Technology

The Walter 01B523 #23 SST+ Jobber Drill represents the pinnacle of drilling performance for industrial applications. Engineered with a robust cobalt blend, this drill bit is specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and stress associated with drilling hard materials such as stainless steel and other ferrous alloys. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits, the SST+ series maintains its cutting edge longer, reducing downtime and tool replacement costs in high-volume production environments.

One of the standout features of this tool is the exclusive Speed Tip. This self-centering point geometry allows the operator to start drilling immediately without the need for a center punch, even on curved or round surfaces like pipes and tubing. This feature significantly improves accuracy and prevents the bit from "walking" across the workpiece, ensuring precise hole placement every time. The bit also features a unique bronze SST surface treatment that acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and heat buildup during operation.

Efficiency is further enhanced by the High Flow flute design. This geometry optimizes chip evacuation, pulling debris away from the cutting zone rapidly. Combined with a back-tapered body that reduces contact with the sidewalls of the hole, the Walter SST+ minimizes binding and breakage. Whether you are working with mild steel, non-ferrous metals, or tough stainless steel grades, the Walter 01B523 delivers reliable, high-speed performance that professionals trust.
