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 canât grip the full diameter. Perfect for structural, fabrication or engineering applications.

Specifications

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
