Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, it measures 3\/4 inch in diameter with a 1\/2 inch Weldon flat shank that seats securely in standard drill chucks and holders. The 118-degree split point promotes accurate starting and reduces walking on hard surfaces. At 6 inches overall length with a 3-1\/8 inch flute length, it delivers sufficient reach for typical through-hole and deep-entry applications. Licensed tradespeople and production machinists working with ferrous materials will find this bit a dependable general-purpose tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C17046 is suited for general-purpose drilling in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance settings. Its reduced shank design allows a 3\/4 inch cutting diameter to be driven by a 1\/2 inch drill chuck or Weldon-style holder, expanding tooling versatility without requiring larger spindles. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron and steel, making it appropriate for structural fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and similar metal-working tasks where consistent hole quality is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree split point for accurate starts and reduced walking on hard metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous material drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank with 3 flats prevents bit rotation in holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoated finish extends tool life in repetitive drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced shank design allows 3\/4 inch cutting diameter with a 1\/2 inch holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral configuration promotes chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with 1\/2 inch Weldon-style tool holders and standard 1\/2 inch drill chucks; intended for use on cast iron and steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with drill press, mill, or hand-drill operation. Ensure the machine spindle or chuck is fully stopped and power is locked out before inserting or removing the bit. Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in the holder so all flats are engaged to prevent slippage under torque. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to maximize bit life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch (0.7500 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inch \/ 12.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches (57.15 mm)\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: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1877\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C17046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701576958258,"sku":"C17046","price":46.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4537939a51783ad6609e8edadbe63bcc.jpg?v=1788401876","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c17046-reduced-shank-drill-bit-3-4-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
