DRILL BIT HSS STANDARD 17.0MM REDUCED SHANK 1/CARD
Features
- Cutting diameter: 17.0 mm
- Reduced shank for usability in smaller chucks
- High-speed steel construction for toughness and edge retention
- Twist/flute geometry for chip evacuation
- Single, carded unit
Benefits
- Allows using large bore bits even if the chuck cannot grip full size
- Solid performance in metalwork, fabrication, and general workshop needs
- Stable cutting with minimal deflection despite the reduced section
Extra Information
- Ensure the reduced shank is fully gripped by the chuck to avoid slippage
- Use lower speeds for metal and tougher materials to reduce heat
- Periodically withdraw during deep drilling to clear chips and maintain temperature control
Pro Tip
- Begin with a pilot hole or center punch to minimize drift when starting
- Check bit run-out after mounting — even small misalignments amplify at large diameter
