                        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.
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

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
