OVERVIEW

High-Performance Industrial Drilling Solution

The Walter #31 SST+ Jobber Drill (SKU: 01B531) represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern workshops, this drill bit is crafted from a specialized cobalt blend that provides superior hardness and heat resistance compared to standard high-speed steel bits. This material composition is critical when working with tough alloys, ensuring the bit retains its cutting edge longer, even under high-stress conditions.

Efficiency is at the core of the SST+ design. The bit features a revolutionary "High Flow" flute geometry that rapidly evacuates chips from the hole. This efficient chip removal prevents heat buildup—the primary cause of premature tool failure—and allows for faster drilling speeds. Coupled with a back-tapered body, the design significantly reduces friction and the risk of binding, making it a reliable choice for deep-hole drilling in solid materials.

Precision is paramount in professional settings, and the Walter SST+ delivers with its exclusive self-centering "Speed Tip." This feature eliminates the need for center punching or pilot holes, as the bit bites into the material immediately upon contact without "walking" or wandering across the surface. This is particularly advantageous when drilling on curved surfaces or round stock. Finished with a unique bronze SST surface treatment, this drill bit offers enhanced lubricity and durability, making it an essential tool for any industrial toolkit dealing with mild steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals.

FAQ

It is made from a premium cobalt blend, which offers higher heat resistance and durability than standard High-Speed Steel (HSS), making it ideal for hard metals.

A #31 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of 0.1200 inches (approximately 3.05 mm).

Yes, the SST+ series is specifically engineered for drilling stainless steel and other tough, work-hardening alloys.

No, the self-centering Speed Tip allows the bit to start drilling immediately without walking, eliminating the need for center punching.

The bronze SST treatment reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, lowering heat generation and extending the tool's life.

Yes, the SST+ bits are designed for use with both portable hand drills and stationary drill presses.

It maximizes chip evacuation, which helps keep the bit cool and prevents clogging during deep drilling operations.
