Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 17.5 mm Reduced Shank Industrial Bit (135° Split Point)

Industrial-grade 17.5 mm high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit featuring a precision-ground 135° split point tip for self-centering starts and reduced walking. The reduced shank design allows this large-diameter bit to fit standard 13 mm chucks — ideal for drilling steel, aluminium, plastics and cast iron.

Extra Information

Use a quality cutting oil or lubricant when drilling metals to extend bit life.
Operate at lower speeds on hard materials; faster for softer substrates.
Always verify that the reduced shank is properly seated and tightened in the chuck.

Pro Tip

Use a center punch on metal to accurately guide the split-point tip.
For deep holes, use peck drilling — retract periodically to clear chips and cool the bit.

Features

17.5 mm cutting diameter for large, accurate boreholes.
135° split point tip ensures fast starts without walking or skidding.
Reduced shank enables compatibility with standard 13 mm drill chucks.
HSS construction offers excellent strength, wear resistance and sharpness.
Optimized flute geometry ensures smooth chip evacuation and cooler operation.

Benefits

Accuracy: self-centering tip eliminates the need for pilot holes.
Durability: high-speed steel resists dulling and heat buildup.
Versatility: ideal for ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Safety

Always wear eye protection when drilling.
Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent slipping or spinning.
Let the bit reach full speed before contacting the surface.
Do not force the bit — apply steady, controlled pressure.
