OVERVIEW

Precision Hole Enlargement with Walter Multi-Step Reamer

The Walter 01W151 Multi-Step Reamer is a specialized cutting tool engineered to solve common challenges in metal fabrication and maintenance. Unlike standard step drills that often feature shallow steps suitable only for thin sheet metal, this heavy-duty reamer boasts a substantial 1/2-inch step thickness. This design characteristic makes it uniquely capable of enlarging holes in thicker plates or drilling through multiple stacked sheets simultaneously without transitioning to the next size prematurely.

Covering a diameter range from 5/16" to 9/16" across five distinct steps, this tool provides versatility for various bolt hole sizes and clearance requirements. It is manufactured with high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of drilling through tough metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The precision-ground flutes ensure clean, burr-free cuts, reducing the need for secondary finishing operations.

One of the critical features of the 01W151 is its shank design. Equipped with a 3/8-inch shank featuring three machined flats, it locks securely into drill chucks. This prevents the bit from spinning or slipping under high-torque loads, a common frustration with round-shank bits. Whether you are enlarging existing holes, aligning mismatched bolt patterns, or creating new clean holes in heavy-gauge material, the Walter Multi-Step Reamer delivers consistent, professional results.
