01B549 - Walter SST+ Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit #49 Wire Gauge

Tough Bits for Tough Jobs: Walter SST+ #49

Stop burning through cheap drill bits when working on stainless steel. The Walter 01B549 SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (#49) is built for welders and fabricators who need tools that work as hard as they do. Whether you are drilling out rivets, prepping a chassis, or fabricating custom parts, this bit delivers speed and durability that standard bits just can't match. Made with a heavy-duty cobalt blend, it stands up to the high heat generated when drilling hard metals, ensuring you get more holes per bit and less downtime changing out dull tools.

We know the frustration of a drill bit skating across the metal before it bites. Walter solved this with their self-centering Speed Tip. You can put this bit right on a round pipe or a flat plate, pull the trigger, and it digs in immediately—no center punch required. This precision saves you time and keeps your work clean. The bit also features a smart flute design that pulls chips out of the hole fast, keeping the cutting edge cool and preventing the bit from getting stuck or snapping off inside your workpiece.

The bronze finish isn't just for looks; it's a special surface treatment that helps the bit slide through metal with less friction. Combined with a back-tapered body design to stop binding, this bit is a workhorse for any shop. If you are drilling mild steel, aluminum, or tough stainless, the Walter SST+ #49 gives you the professional edge you need to get the job done right the first time.
