Eagle Cutting Tool SC400-017-I Cobalt Stub Drill 17/64

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SC400-017-I is a 17/64-inch cobalt stub drill designed for drilling through hard metals, stainless steel, and other demanding materials encountered in trade and industrial applications. The stub-length body provides added rigidity over standard jobber-length drills, reducing deflection and improving hole accuracy in tight-clearance situations. Cobalt construction offers superior heat resistance, making this bit well-suited for high-speed drilling where conventional high-speed steel bits would prematurely wear. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals reach for stub drills when working in confined spaces or where a shorter drill is required to maintain control.

This drill is appropriate for use in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment repair, plumbing rough-in work, electrical panel and enclosure work, and general mechanical maintenance. The 17/64-inch diameter suits common fastener clearance holes and pilot applications across residential and light commercial service work. It is compatible with standard drill chucks found on corded and cordless drill drivers and drill presses.

Key Features

• 17/64-inch diameter for precise fastener clearance and pilot hole applications
• Cobalt construction provides superior heat resistance over standard HSS bits
• Stub-length body reduces flex and deflection in confined or tight-clearance work areas
• Compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks on drill presses and handheld drill drivers
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or supplemental cutting tool for use with standard drill chucks accepting straight-shank stub-length drill bits in the 17/64-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with proper drilling technique for cobalt bits. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid on hard metals to extend bit life. Inspect the bit for chipping or wear before each use and replace if the cutting edge is compromised. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating drilling equipment.
