                  Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 17.5 mm Reduced Shank
A heavy-duty 17.5 mm twist drill bit made from high-speed steel (HSS), featuring a reduced shank so it fits into chucks that can’t grip the full diameter. Perfect for structural, fabrication or engineering applications.
Extra Information
- Ensure the chuck grips the reduced portion completely to avoid slippage
- Use appropriate RPM and feed rates—lower speeds for hard metals
- Withdraw the bit periodically during deep drilling to clear chips and reduce heat
Pro Tip
- Use a pilot hole or center punch to help guide this large bit and prevent wandering
- Check for run-out after mounting—the effect is magnified at larger diameters
Features
- Cutting diameter: 17.5 mm
- Reduced shank design for compatibility with limited-capacity chucks
- High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and edge retention
- Twist flute geometry for efficient chip removal
- Supplied individually in a carded packaging (1 per card)
Benefits
<- Enables use of a large-diameter bit where full-diameter chucks aren’t supported
- Robust performance for metalwork, general fabrication and workshop tasks
- Maintains stability and alignment despite the reduced section
Safety
- Wear eye protection when drilling
- Ensure the material is firmly clamped or secured
- Feed steadily—don’t force the bit
- Ensure the drill is at proper speed before engaging work
