                        Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 17.0 mm Reduced Shank Industrial Bit (135° Split Point)
Precision-engineered 17.0 mm high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit with a 135° split point tip for faster, self-centering starts and reduced wandering. Its reduced shank design allows large-diameter holes to be drilled using standard 13 mm chucks — ideal for metal, aluminium, plastics and cast iron.
Features
- 17.0 mm cutting diameter for large, precise hole drilling.
 - 135° split point self-centers and eliminates walking for faster starts.
 - Reduced shank design allows use with standard 13 mm drill chucks.
 - HSS construction for exceptional durability, edge retention and accuracy.
 - Polished flutes enable smooth chip evacuation and cooler cutting.
 
Benefits
- Accuracy: split point improves control and alignment when drilling metal.
 - Versatility: compatible with common drill chucks and handheld machines.
 - Performance: cuts cleanly and resists dulling under load.

Extra Information
- Use cutting fluid when drilling steel to reduce heat and friction.
 - Reduce drill speed for harder materials; increase slightly for wood or plastics.
 - Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped for accuracy and safety.
 
Pro Tip
- Mark the hole position with a center punch for cleaner starts.
 - When drilling deeper holes, peck-drill to clear chips and avoid overheating the bit.
