Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit carries a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and requires less feed force than a standard 118-degree grind. The wire size 17 designation corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.1730 inches. The two-flute spiral design with a web-thinned, tapered web promotes efficient chip evacuation and helps maintain cutting speed during extended production runs. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and industrial tradespeople commonly reach for this series when drilling through cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 45687 fits standard production and maintenance drilling applications where wire-gauge sizing is specified on engineering drawings or fabrication callouts. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks across a full range of portable and bench-mounted drill equipment. With a 3-3\/8-inch overall length and a 2-3\/16-inch flute length, it provides adequate reach for typical through-hole work on plate, structural, and sheet stock within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range. The bit meets NAS 907 Type B standards and is rated for high-performance, heavy-duty service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers required feed pressure on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide coating for corrosion resistance and improved surface lubricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web for faster chip clearing and reduced heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, regular spiral flute geometry optimized for cast iron, stainless steel, and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.1730 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 Type B specification for dimensional and performance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a heavy-duty OEM-style jobber-length drill bit for use on cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces where a wire size 17 (0.1730 inch) diameter is required.

Secure the workpiece fully before drilling and confirm the chuck is tightened properly on the straight shank. Apply cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or other work-hardening alloys to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges and split point before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1500 to 0.2000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type B\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: 150ASP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0177 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 45687\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731827818802,"sku":"45687","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/782460eef0061e5342807dea23a26913_8f43f3ac-2481-41f6-9c5b-7bdd632325f5.jpg?v=1788735375","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-45687-jobber-drill-bit-wire-17-hss-135","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
