Guhring 9055180175000 Carbide Jobber Drill 17.50mm

Product Description

The GUHRING 9055180175000 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding production environments. It features a 17.50 mm (0.6890 inch) diameter, a 130-degree proprietary point angle, and a 3-flute regular spiral flute geometry. The web-thinned point reduces thrust force at entry, while the bright uncoated finish suits applications where coating is not required or where base carbide hardness is sufficient. This drill is intended for use by machinists and manufacturing tradespeople working in precision metal fabrication, job shops, and production lines.

This drill bit is rated for cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous workpiece materials. With a flute-to-diameter ratio of 5xD, it handles moderate-depth holes without excessive chip packing. The shank diameter is 18 mm, fitting standard toolholder chucks and collets sized for that bore. It is suited for CNC machining centers and manual drill presses where solid carbide tooling is appropriate for the material and cycle requirements. The overall length of 143.00 mm (5.6299 inches) and flute length of 93.00 mm (3.6614 inches) are consistent with jobber-length standards per DIN specification.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in abrasive and hard materials
• 130-degree proprietary point angle optimized for reduced thrust and clean entry
• 3-flute geometry improves chip evacuation and supports higher feed rates compared to 2-flute designs
• Web-thinned point lowers cutting forces at drill entry
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and cast iron applications
• DIN specification designation for consistent dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 18 mm shank toolholders, collet chucks, and drill chucks on CNC machining centers and manual drill presses. Primary workpiece compatibility is cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals as stated in the product specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with solid carbide tooling requirements. Ensure the machine spindle and toolholder are clean and free of runout before seating the shank, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to lateral loading from misalignment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling per standard lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use this drill in interrupted cuts or on hardened steel without confirming material suitability with the manufacturer data sheet.
