Dewalt Accessories DW1117 Black Oxide Drill Bit 17/64 in 2pk

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1117 is a 17/64 inch high-speed steel drill bit with a black oxide coating, sold in a pack of 2. The black oxide finish reduces wear and resists corrosion, extending service life across repeated use. A 135-degree split point tip engages material on contact and eliminates walking without a center punch. The patented core diameter design reduces the risk of bit breakage during heavy drilling. These bits are built for professionals who need consistent, accurate performance in metal, plastic, and wood applications.

The DW1117 suits trade professionals and skilled tradespeople working in light fabrication, mechanical assembly, HVAC rough-in, plumbing layout, and general construction. The 17/64 inch diameter is a common size for clearance holes, pilot holes, and bolt-pass applications. The black oxide coating makes these bits well suited for drilling ferrous metals, sheet stock, and structural materials where bit longevity matters. Each bit is designed to seat securely in standard three-jaw chucks without spinning.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point tip drills on contact and prevents walking without a center punch

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting round or flat-shank bits in the 17/64 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill or driver is fully powered off and the chuck is stationary. Seat the bit fully in the chuck and tighten all three flats before operation to prevent slippage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to manage heat buildup and extend bit life. Dispose of worn bits properly and inspect for cracks or tip damage before each use.
