The Pilot Point tip geometry is designed to reduce walking on contact, allowing the bit to start on target without center-punching on most surfaces. Built for use in standard drill chucks, this bit is a common stock item for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who regularly drill through steel, sheet metal, and similar materials. The 17\/64-inch diameter suits a range of fastener clearance and pilot hole tasks encountered in everyday trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for residential and light commercial job-site use where metal drilling is routine — including drilling through electrical boxes, pipe hangers, brackets, framing connectors, and HVAC sheet metal components. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks on corded or cordless drills and drill presses. The 17\/64-inch size is commonly used as a clearance hole for 1\/4-inch fasteners and as a pilot hole in heavier steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePilot Point tip reduces bit walking on smooth metal surfaces at initial contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17\/64-inch diameter for clearance and pilot hole applications in metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks on most corded and cordless drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece construction suitable for repetitive trade use on job sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock drill bit compatible with conventional 3-jaw drill chucks on corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses rated for metal drilling work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the drill is powered off and the battery is removed or the tool is unplugged before changing bits. Secure the bit fully in the chuck before drilling and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling through thick steel stock to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Dispose of worn bits per local regulations for sharp metal waste.\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 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pilot Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 028877323947\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: DEWALT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DW1917\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DEWALT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344988111154,"sku":"DW1917","price":25.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310492624.jpg?v=1782047377","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dewalt-dw1917-pilot-point-drill-bit-17-64-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
