Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for improved lubricity and surface hardness, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute spiral configuration. Overall length is 3-3\/8 inches with a flute length of 2-3\/16 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard drill chucks and drill presses. This is a Series 150 general-purpose bit built to DIN 338 standards and suited for production or maintenance drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is designed for drilling into cast iron and steel in general-purpose applications. The web-thinned, tapered-web construction reduces thrust and improves chip clearance when boring through ferrous metals. Typical install and use scenarios include fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, HVAC equipment assembly, and field service work where consistent hole sizing is critical. The 0.1730-inch diameter is commonly used for tap drilling and close-tolerance hole applications in light to medium steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge No. 17 sizing at 0.1730 inches decimal equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide finish for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered-web design reduces drilling thrust and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 standard for jobber-length drill bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in cast iron and steel workpieces.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerance. Operate at a spindle speed appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter per standard machining reference tables. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0174 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CHICAGO-LATROBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44087\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733394030898,"sku":"44087","price":42.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1eca19afe150757905f09246344639f8_1ebc4b16-464a-49dc-9585-712bbcca0810.jpg?v=1788755102","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44087-no-17-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
