01H026 - Walter 13/32" SST Stub Drill Bit, 135° Split Point

Heavy-Duty Drilling for Tight Spaces

The Walter 13/32" SST Stub Drill Bit (01H026) is engineered for professionals who demand precision and durability in their metalworking tools. Known as a "stub" or screw machine length drill, this bit features a shorter overall length compared to standard jobber bits. This design choice is not merely for fitting into tight spaces—though it excels at that—but primarily to increase the structural rigidity of the tool. A shorter bit flexes less under load, which drastically reduces the likelihood of breakage, especially when drilling through tough alloys or when using a hand drill where maintaining a perfectly perpendicular angle is difficult.

One of the standout features of this drill is its 135° split point geometry. Unlike standard 118° points that often require a center punch to start the hole, the Walter SST split point bites into the material immediately upon contact. This self-centering action prevents the bit from "walking" or skating across the surface, ensuring your holes are positioned exactly where you intended. This is particularly valuable when working with sheet metal or rounded surfaces where precision is critical.

The bit is treated with Walter's exclusive Bronze SST surface finish. This treatment helps to dissipate heat and reduce friction, allowing for faster drilling speeds and a longer tool life. Whether you are drilling out rivets, working on automotive body panels, or fabricating stainless steel components, the 01H026 delivers consistent, burr-free performance. It is an essential addition to any maintenance shop, fabrication floor, or tool crib looking to reduce consumable waste and improve efficiency.
