                        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.
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

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
