Precision Twist Drill 010017 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 17/64 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 010017 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-series drill bit engineered for drilling into hard surfaces under demanding conditions. With a 17/64-inch tip diameter, a 4-inch depth of cut, and an overall length of 4-1/8 inches, this bit is built to handle the heat and force generated during aggressive metal drilling. HSS construction provides the hardness needed to maintain a cutting edge through repeated use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is a standard go-to bit for machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals who need reliable hole-making performance in a jobber-length format.

This bit is suited for use in residential and commercial trade applications where precise, clean through-holes are required in metal, wood, or plastic substrates. Typical install scenarios include drilling pilot holes for fasteners, conduit knockout work, pipe fitting preparation, and bracket mounting. The jobber-length design balances reach and rigidity, making it compatible with standard corded and cordless drill motors as well as drill presses. It is sold individually and fits standard three-jaw chucks.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction resists heat buildup during hard-surface drilling
• 17/64-inch tip diameter for precise hole sizing in trade applications
• 4-inch depth of cut accommodates common material thicknesses encountered in the field
• 4-1/8-inch overall length in a standard jobber format for balance between reach and rigidity
• Compatible with standard three-jaw chuck drill motors and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length HSS drill bit suitable for use with any three-jaw chuck drill motor or drill press accepting a 17/64-inch shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before powering the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear safety glasses and secure the workpiece before drilling. Replace the bit when the cutting edge shows visible wear or the bit requires excessive force to advance.
