Eagle Cutting Tool 1208XL-017-I Hss Drill Bit 17/64 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1208XL-017-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit with a 17/64 inch diameter and an 8 inch overall length (OAL). Built for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics, this bit delivers consistent cutting performance in both hand-held and machine tool applications. The 5 inch flute length provides ample chip clearance for deeper bore applications. At 0.3 pounds, it is a lightweight tool suited for daily shop use. Licensed tradespeople and machinists reach for HSS bits like this when drilling ferrous and non-ferrous materials where controlled feed and speed are required.

This drill bit is well suited for production drilling, maintenance and repair operations, and fabrication work in commercial or industrial settings. The extended OAL of 8 inches makes it useful when drilling through thick stock or reaching into recessed locations that a jobber-length bit cannot access. It fits standard drill chucks and CNC machine tool holders sized for 17/64 inch shanks. Electricians, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general machinists commonly use extended-length HSS drill bits for clearance hole drilling and fixture work.
