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
