OVERVIEW

High-Performance Drilling for Industrial Fabrication

In the demanding world of industrial metalworking, precision and durability are non-negotiable. The Walter SST+ #60 Jobber Drill Bit (SKU: 01B560) is engineered to meet these rigorous standards, offering a superior drilling solution for professionals who work with tough materials. Manufactured with a unique cobalt blend, this drill bit is specifically designed to withstand the high heat and stress generated when drilling through hard alloys like stainless steel. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits that dull quickly under thermal stress, the SST+ series maintains its cutting edge longer, ensuring consistent performance shift after shift.

One of the standout features of this drill bit is its High Flow flute design. When drilling small diameter holes—such as the 0.040-inch diameter of a #60 bit—chip evacuation is critical. If chips clog the flutes, the bit can bind and snap. Walter's innovative flute geometry maximizes chip removal, allowing for faster drilling speeds and significantly reducing the risk of breakage. This makes it an ideal choice for machine shops and fabrication floors where efficiency and downtime reduction are paramount.

Furthermore, the exclusive bronze SST surface treatment acts as a lubricant and heat shield. This specialized coating reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, preventing the material from work-hardening—a common issue when drilling stainless steel. Combined with a robust back-tapered body, the Walter SST+ ensures that every hole is drilled with precision and ease. Whether you are drilling mild steel, non-ferrous metals, or high-tensile stainless, this tool delivers the reliability Josef Gas customers expect from top-tier industrial supplies.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Extended Tool Life: Cobalt blend resists heat buildup in hard metals.
  • Reduced Breakage: Optimized flute geometry prevents chip packing.
  • Versatility: Suitable for stationary machines and portable drilling operations.

FAQ

A #60 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of 0.0400 inches (approximately 1.016 mm).

Yes, the SST+ series is specifically engineered with a cobalt blend to drill through hard materials like stainless steel effectively.

No, the Walter SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that prevents walking, allowing you to drill directly without a center punch.

The bronze surface treatment reduces friction and heat buildup, which helps prevent the workpiece from work-hardening and extends the life of the bit.

Yes, the Walter SST+ is versatile and works excellently on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as well as mild and stainless steel.

The High Flow design refers to the geometry of the flutes which are optimized to evacuate chips quickly, preventing clogging and bit breakage.

As a standard jobber length bit in size #60, it typically has an overall length of approximately 1-5/8 inches, though exact specs can vary slightly by batch.

Cobalt improves the heat resistance and hardness of the steel, allowing the bit to maintain its cutting edge at higher temperatures common when drilling hard metals.
