OVERVIEW

High-Performance Cobalt Drilling Solution

The Walter SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (SKU: 01B551) represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial maintenance and repair operations. Sized at Wire Gauge #51, this bit is engineered to tackle the toughest materials found in modern manufacturing environments, including stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals. Unlike standard high-speed steel bits that dull quickly under thermal stress, the SST+ series utilizes a proprietary cobalt blend that maintains hardness even at high drilling temperatures.

Efficiency is critical in MRO settings, and the SST+ delivers with its exclusive "Speed Tip" design. This 135-degree split point is self-centering, allowing operators to drill immediately without the time-consuming step of center punching. This feature is particularly valuable when working on rounded surfaces or in awkward positions where tool stability is a challenge. The bit's body features a back-tapered geometry and a "High Flow" flute design, which work in tandem to evacuate chips rapidly. This prevents clogging and heat buildup, two primary causes of premature tool failure.

Durability is further enhanced by Walter's special bronze SST surface treatment. This coating not only protects the bit from environmental factors but also adds a layer of lubricity that reduces friction during the cut. For professionals requiring precision holes with a diameter of 0.0670 inches, the Walter #51 SST+ drill bit provides a reliable, long-lasting solution that minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.

FAQ

A #51 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of 0.0670 inches (approximately 1.70 mm).

Yes, the cobalt blend material is specifically designed to drill through hard materials like stainless steel and other tough alloys that would damage standard HSS bits.

No, the Walter SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that prevents walking, allowing you to start drilling directly on the mark without center punching.

The bronze SST treatment reduces friction between the bit and the material, allowing for cooler drilling temperatures and extended tool life.

Yes, the SST+ works excellently on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, thanks to its high-flow flute design that clears chips effectively.

This drill bit features a 135-degree split point, which is ideal for drilling into harder materials and provides better centering than standard 118-degree points.

The back tapered body reduces the contact area between the bit and the hole walls, minimizing friction and allowing for faster drilling with less power.

Absolutely. The self-centering tip makes it ideal for portable hand drill applications where stability can be an issue.
