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
