Hertel C.402.1701 Jobber Drill Bit 17mm Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.402.1701 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. It features a 17.00 mm (0.6698 inch) diameter with a standard 118-degree split-point angle and a spiral flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. The bit is constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating to reduce friction and extend tool life under moderate heat conditions. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shops use this bit in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills for general production and repair work.

This jobber drill is suited for general-purpose applications across manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, making it a versatile choice for both bench drill presses and portable drilling equipment. Its 143.00 mm flute length and 194.00 mm overall length place it in the standard jobber-length category, appropriate for through-hole and moderate-depth drilling tasks where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• 17.00 mm diameter (0.6698 inch decimal equivalent) for precise sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials
• High speed steel construction provides durability under moderate cutting speeds and temperatures
• Oxide coating reduces friction and helps extend cutting edge life
• Two-flute spiral geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces heat buildup
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the 15.00 mm and larger diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to powering the machine. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when operating drilling equipment. Do not exceed the recommended cutting speed for the workpiece material, and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to manage heat.
