Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle. The 4-1\/8 inch overall length and regular spiral flute geometry make it a general-purpose tool suited for production drilling and maintenance shops. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and general trade technicians reach for left-hand bits when drilling out broken fasteners, since the cutting direction often backs the fastener out during drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 44417 is intended for drilling into cast iron and steel in general-purpose trade and industrial environments. Its straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard keyed or keyless drill chucks. The 2-7\/8 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for typical through-hole and blind-hole work in the 17\/64 inch size range. This bit is sold individually and is appropriate for both bench-drill and hand-drill applications where a left-hand spiral is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction — ideal for backing out broken bolts and studs during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in cast iron and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating to flake or delaminate under heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with 2-7\/8 inch flute length promotes consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose left-hand jobber-length drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 17\/64 inch diameter range.

Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before beginning. Eye protection and appropriate work-holding are required when drilling metal. Cutting fluid is recommended when drilling steel to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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: Bright\/Uncoated\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: -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0459 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: 44417\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732057293106,"sku":"44417","price":18.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f0d87968f5e52b422f2ce4159f05974a.jpg?v=1788738736","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44417-jobber-drill-bit-17-64-in-left-hand-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
