Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 17.0 mm Reduced Shank Industrial Bit (135° Split Point)
Precision-engineered 17.0 mm high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit with a 135° split point tip for faster, self-centering starts and reduced wandering. Its reduced shank design allows large-diameter holes to be drilled using standard 13 mm chucks — ideal for metal, aluminium, plastics and cast iron.
Extra Information
- Use cutting fluid when drilling steel to reduce heat and friction.
- Reduce drill speed for harder materials; increase slightly for wood or plastics.
- Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped for accuracy and safety.
Pro Tip
- Mark the hole position with a center punch for cleaner starts.
- When drilling deeper holes, peck-drill to clear chips and avoid overheating the bit.
Features
- 17.0 mm cutting diameter for large, precise hole drilling.
- 135° split point self-centers and eliminates walking for faster starts.
- Reduced shank design allows use with standard 13 mm drill chucks.
- HSS construction for exceptional durability, edge retention and accuracy.
- Polished flutes enable smooth chip evacuation and cooler cutting.
Benefits
- Accuracy: split point improves control and alignment when drilling metal.
- Versatility: compatible with common drill chucks and handheld machines.
- Performance: cuts cleanly and resists dulling under load.
Safety
- Wear eye protection at all times when drilling.
- Secure workpiece using clamps or a vice before starting.
- Allow the drill to reach full speed before engaging material.
- Do not force the bit — apply steady, controlled pressure.
