01A030 - Walter SST+ 15/32" Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Tough Bits for Tough Jobs: Walter SST+ 15/32"

For welders and fabricators, a drill bit is more than just an accessory; it's a critical part of the fabrication process. The Walter 01A030 15/32" SST+ Jobber Drill Bit is built to handle the rigorous demands of the welding shop. When you are prepping materials for a weld or drilling out rivets, you need a bit that bites instantly and keeps cutting. The SST+ features a cobalt blend formulation that gives it the hardness and heat resistance needed to tackle mild steel, aluminum, and even stainless steel without burning out prematurely.

Nothing is more frustrating than a drill bit spinning in the chuck when you apply pressure. Walter solves this common headache with their innovative Quick Shank technology. This design incorporates flats on the shank that allow the chuck jaws to grab hold securely, preventing slippage entirely. This means you can lean into the work with confidence, knowing that your drill's power is going directly into the cut. For welders working on site with cordless drills, this efficiency translates to longer battery life and less time swapping out packs.

Accuracy is key when fitting up parts, and the self-centering Speed Tip on this bit is a game-changer. You can place the tip exactly where you need the hole and start drilling immediately—no center punch required. The bit stays on target, even on curved surfaces like pipe or tubing. The heavy-duty body construction resists snapping under side-load, while the bronze surface treatment helps clear chips fast to keep the hole clean. Whether you are drilling through structural steel or thin sheet metal, the Walter 01A030 delivers the clean, precise holes you need to get the job done right.
