Eagle Cutting Tool T500-017-I 17/64 Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL T500-017-I is a 17/64 inch high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. The TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, extending tool life compared to uncoated HSS bits. This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is a commonly stocked item for machine shops, fabrication crews, maintenance technicians, and field tradespeople who need a reliable, mid-size jobber drill for everyday production or service work.

This drill bit fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks on handheld power drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling machines. The 17/64 inch diameter is a common hole size used in mechanical assembly, conduit and bracket mounting, and general structural work across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general construction trades. The jobber length provides a balanced reach-to-rigidity ratio suitable for most through-hole and shallow-depth drilling applications.

Key Features

• 17/64 inch diameter HSS construction for strength and heat resistance
• Titanium nitride (TiN) coating extends cutting life and reduces bit wear
• Jobber length provides versatile reach for most general drilling tasks
• Compatible with standard 3-jaw chuck drill equipment
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling machines accepting 17/64 inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with rotary cutting tools and drill press or hand-drill operation. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to preserve coating life. Always wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when operating drilling equipment.
