Cleveland C71117 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 17 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71117 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 17, with a decimal diameter of 0.1730 inches. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. The bit features a standard 118-degree split-point angle with web thinning for easier starting and reduced walking on entry. Overall length is 3-3/8 inches with a 2-3/16-inch flute length, giving it the reach needed for through-hole work in typical shop and field applications. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians reach for this bit for everyday production and repair drilling tasks.

The C71117 fits general-purpose drilling applications across residential and commercial maintenance, light fabrication, and manufacturing environments. The regular spiral flute and right-hand cut configuration make it compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC setups where a 0.1730-inch diameter hole is required. The 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides adequate chip clearance for most common materials at this diameter. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units per order.
