                        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.
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.

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.
