Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 17.0 mm Reduced Shank

A heavy-duty 17.0 mm drill bit made of high-speed steel (HSS) with a reduced shank. Designed to be used where large diameter bits are required but full-size chucks aren’t available. Ideal for structural, fabrication, and mechanical uses.

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

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

Safety

  • Wear eye protection when drilling
  • Ensure firm chuck grip on the reduced shank to avoid slippage
  • Use steady feed — do not force the bit
  • Clamp or secure the workpiece to prevent movement
  • Ensure drill is at correct speed before start
