Osg 8673700 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 17mm

Product Description

The OSG 8673700 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit engineered for precision hole-making in demanding materials. It features a 17 mm (0.6693 inch) cutting diameter, a 140-degree split point for reduced walking and accurate entry, and an EgiAs coating that extends tool life by improving lubricity and heat resistance. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 18 mm and seats securely in standard drill chucks and tool holders. With an overall length of 143 mm and a 93 mm flute length, this bit fits conventional jobber-length setups. It is suited for machinists, tool-and-die shops, and maintenance technicians working in production or job-shop environments.

This drill bit is designed for right-hand cutting applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, and engineered materials where a solid carbide substrate and EgiAs coating deliver consistent performance. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports moderate-depth holes without excessive chip packing. The two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation. Web thinning at the tip (R-Thinned) reduces thrust force requirements, making it well-suited for CNC machining centers and precision drill presses where controlled feed rates and rigid setups are the norm.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• EgiAs coating improves surface lubricity and extends tool life in abrasive applications
• 140-degree point angle reduces drill walk and improves entry accuracy
• R-Thinned web lowers thrust force requirements at the cutting tip
• Two-flute spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 18 mm straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide drill bit for CNC machining centers and precision drill presses accepting an 18 mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and serviced by machinists and CNC operators in machine shop environments. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or tool holder and verify runout before initiating a cut. Always bring the spindle to a complete stop before changing tooling. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed selection.
