OVERVIEW

Precision Drilling for Thin-Walled Metals

The Walter 01H114 7/32" Hex SST Stub Drill is an industrial-grade cutting tool engineered specifically for the demands of sheet metal fabrication and maintenance operations. Unlike standard jobber-length bits that can flex and wander, this stub-length drill provides exceptional rigidity. This structural stiffness is critical when drilling through thin-walled materials, as it minimizes the vibration that often leads to bit breakage or out-of-round holes. For professionals working with stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals, this stability translates to cleaner cuts and longer tool life.

Advanced SST+ Technology

At the core of this bit's performance is Walter's proprietary SST (Super Speed Treatment) and bronze surface finish. This treatment significantly enhances the hardness of the High-Speed Steel (HSS) while reducing friction during the cut. The result is a drill bit that can withstand higher operating temperatures without losing its temper, allowing for faster drilling speeds in tough alloys. The 135° split point geometry is another standout feature; it allows the bit to self-center immediately upon contact with the workpiece. This eliminates the time-consuming step of center punching and prevents the bit from "walking" across the surface, ensuring precise hole placement every time.

Versatile Hex Shank Design

Efficiency in a busy workshop often comes down to tool compatibility. The 01H114 features a robust hex shank designed for quick-change chucks and impact drivers. This allows operators to swap between drilling and driving applications in seconds, streamlining assembly and repair workflows. Whether used in a stationary drill press or a portable power tool, the secure grip of the hex shank prevents slippage under high torque, ensuring maximum power transfer to the cutting edge. This drill bit is an essential addition to any tool crib focused on metal fabrication, HVAC installation, or automotive bodywork.

FAQ

Stub length drill bits are shorter than standard jobber bits, which makes them much more rigid. This rigidity reduces flexing and vibration, significantly lowering the chance of breakage, especially when drilling hard metals or using portable hand drills.

No, it features a 135° split point geometry that is self-centering. It bites into the material immediately, preventing the bit from walking and eliminating the need for a pre-punched pilot hole.

This bit is designed for mild steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals (like aluminum), and is particularly effective on sheet metal and thin-walled tubing.

It features a hex shank, typically 1/4-inch, which allows for use in quick-change chucks and impact drivers, preventing slippage.

The drilling diameter is 7/32 of an inch.

SST stands for Super Speed Treatment, a proprietary bronze surface treatment by Walter that improves heat resistance and lubricity for longer tool life.

No, this is a stub drill designed for shallow holes and sheet metal. For deep holes, a jobber or mechanics length bit would be more appropriate due to the longer flute length required for chip evacuation.
