Eagle Cutting Tool D250-017-D Hss Drill Bit 17/64 Inch

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL D250-017-D is a 17/64 inch high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit engineered for demanding metalworking and fabrication applications. Built with a 135-degree split point geometry, it starts on contact without a center punch and reduces walking on hard or smooth surfaces. The DYNO DG designation indicates a double-ground flute finish designed to improve chip evacuation and cutting efficiency. Manufactured in the USA, this bit is suited for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where consistent hole quality is required. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople commonly keep fractional HSS bits on hand for field drilling into ferrous metals and structural components.

This drill bit is sized at 17/64 inch and is appropriate for general-purpose metal drilling in residential and light commercial trade work. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes in sheet metal, electrical enclosures, conduit straps, mechanical mounts, and structural steel. The 135-degree split point makes it particularly well suited for stainless steel, hardened steel, and other materials where a standard 118-degree point tends to walk or chatter. It is compatible with any standard chuck accepting round shank fractional drill bits.

Key Features

• 17/64 inch diameter HSS construction for durability in metal drilling
• 135-degree split point eliminates walking and reduces need for center punching
• DYNO DG double-ground flute for improved chip clearance and cutting speed
• Made in the USA
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit — available as a single bit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional HSS drill bit for use in any drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle equipped with a chuck sized to accept 17/64 inch round shank bits.

Installation Notes

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection when operating drill bits. Secure workpieces firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or slipping. Apply cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or hardened alloys to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the bit for chipping or dulling before each use and replace if the cutting edges show wear.
