Walter SST+ Prentice Drill Bit
The Walter SST+ Prentice is a heavy-duty large-diameter drill bit built for portable drills, drill presses and magnetic-base drills with a half-inch chuck. It targets metalworkers who need a single bit that cuts 35/64" holes in mild steel, non-ferrous metal and stainless steel without a pilot hole.
35/64" Diameter and 3-1/8" Flute
The 35/64" cutting diameter and 3-1/8" flute length give enough reach for typical plate and structural work while the 6" overall length keeps the bit manageable in a handheld drill. The cobalt blend and extra-hard tip extend the number of holes between re-sharpenings, but the half-inch shank limits use to chucks of that capacity or larger.
Three-Flat Shank and SST Treatment
Three flats on the shank prevent slippage inside the chuck during high-torque drilling. The special bronze SST surface treatment reduces friction and heat build-up, helping the bit run cooler and quieter through stainless and mild steel. Power draw follows the drill motor used; the bit itself adds no electrical load.

Questions about this item
Will the 35/64" Prentice drill fit the 1/2" chuck on my older portable drill?
Yes — the shank is sized for 1/2" chuck capacity and the three flats prevent slippage in any standard chuck.
How can I confirm the 135-degree point is cutting correctly after I start drilling?
The exclusive point geometry should start on contact without a centre punch and produce clean chips in mild steel, stainless or non-ferrous metal.
Does the 6" overall-length bit come alone or in a set with other sizes?
The supplier description lists a single 35/64" x 3-1/8" flute x 6" overall bit; no additional bits or accessories are mentioned.
