Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-017-I Hss Jobber Drill 17/64

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-017-I is a 17/64 inch high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, plastic, and similar materials. Jobber-length bits strike the standard balance between flute length and rigidity, making them a go-to choice for everyday production drilling and maintenance work. The HSS construction provides adequate heat resistance and durability for a wide range of common drilling applications. This bit is typically installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance trades requiring consistent hole sizing across varied materials.

This drill bit suits residential and commercial trade applications where a 17/64 inch diameter hole is required. Common use cases include drilling pilot holes for fasteners, clearing knockout slugs, and sizing holes for conduit fittings, pipe hangers, and similar hardware. The jobber-length geometry fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on corded and cordless drills as well as drill presses. It is an import-grade bit appropriate for applications where volume use or cost-per-hole economics are a priority.

Key Features

• 17/64 inch diameter for precise hole sizing in trade applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction offers heat and wear resistance during drilling
• Jobber-length flute design balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose use
• Compatible with standard three-jaw chucks on handheld drills and drill presses
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit purchase

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit suitable for use in any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting 17/64 inch shank diameters.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the drill. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. Match drill speed to the material being drilled — harder materials require lower RPM. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
