                              Drill Bit
                                          
                  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
