With a 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch) diameter and a 12 inch overall length, this bit handles extended-reach work in metal, wood, and plastic without requiring a drill extension. The 118-degree standard point provides positive centering on most common materials. Two right-hand spiral flutes run 9 inches in length, efficiently evacuating chips during deep cuts. Licensed trades and industrial shops working on long-reach structural or mechanical drilling tasks rely on bits in this class for consistent results in confined or extended-depth bores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extra length drill bit is suited for residential and commercial applications where standard drill bits fall short. Typical uses include drilling through deep structural members, pipe hangers, HVAC ductwork framing, electrical panel knockouts in thick assemblies, and long-reach fastener pilot holes in mechanical rooms or tight wall cavities. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks across a wide range of corded and cordless drill drivers and drill presses commonly used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general construction tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17\/64 inch diameter with matching 17\/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 inch overall length provides extended reach for deep structural drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 inch flute length maximizes chip evacuation during long-depth passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for reliable self-centering on common materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip clearance and reduced heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated high speed steel construction — easy to resharpen in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade extra length drill bit fitting any standard three-jaw drill chuck sized for 17\/64 inch shanks, consistent with Series 686 tooling specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtra length drill bits should be installed in a properly rated drill chuck and tightened securely before use to prevent slippage during deep cuts. Reduce feed pressure and RPM compared to standard-length bits to minimize deflection and heat buildup over the extended length. Periodically withdraw the bit during deep cuts to clear chips from the flutes and prevent binding. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and resharpen or replace when dulling is observed to maintain safe, accurate drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 686\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TITAN USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CD68617\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TITAN USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731498500402,"sku":"CD68617","price":62.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0c98d93a617ea4c6a4585028a83e55ec_18aa4bbd-f69d-4037-9ca7-4f3c2d879c9b.jpg?v=1788731799","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/titan-usa-cd68617-extra-length-drill-bit-17-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
