Seco 02897984 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill 17/32 Inch

Product Description

The SECO 02897984 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit in the SD1105A series, designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It features a 17/32 inch (0.5313 inch) diameter, a 140-degree standard point angle, and an AlCrN (aluminum chromium nitride) coating that improves wear resistance and heat tolerance at elevated cutting speeds. The overall length is 4.8819 inches (124 mm), with a spiral flute configuration and right-hand cutting direction. It is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production or job-shop environments where consistent hole quality in tough materials is required.

This drill bit is rated for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard materials, corresponding to ISO workpiece material codes P, M, K, and H. The flute-to-diameter ratio is 5xD, with a maximum drilling depth of 3.0315 inches (60 mm). The straight-cylindrical shank has a 0.5512 inch (14 mm) diameter and a shank length of 1.7717 inches (45 mm), making it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders sized for that shank. No coolant-through capability is present on this model.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• AlCrN coating reduces friction and oxidation at high cutting temperatures
• 140-degree point angle provides self-centering entry and reduces thrust force in hard materials
• Regular spiral, 2-flute design promotes chip evacuation in through and blind holes
• Straight-cylindrical shank with m7 diameter tolerance for consistent chuck grip and runout control
• 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports deeper hole applications within the rated depth

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and drill presses with standard chucks or collet systems accepting a 14 mm (0.5512 inch) straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hard materials per ISO material codes P, M, K, and H. Conforms to ANSI standards per the SD1105A series specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with carbide tooling practices. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before cutting. Carbide is brittle compared to high-speed steel — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without appropriate parameters, or dropping the tool. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling series recommendations for spindle speed and feed rate based on workpiece material.
