Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as the raw stock for custom drill fabrication, reaming, and punching applications in tool-and-die, machining, and maintenance shops. This blank is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, which keeps the steel surface true and ready for further grinding or heat treatment. Machinists and tool grinders reach for HSS blanks when building specialty cutting tools or replacing worn drill stock to exact wire-gauge tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blank is suited for general-purpose toolroom and production environments where a wire-gauge size 17 diameter is required. Common applications include fabricating pilot drills, transfer punches, and custom reamers, as well as use in fixture and jig work that demands close-tolerance cylindrical stock. The bright finish makes it easy to inspect the surface condition before grinding. Both professional machinists and experienced trade shops working in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment repair, or plumbing fixture manufacturing will find this a standard bench-stock item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire-gauge size 17 blank ground to 0.173 inches decimal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 3.375 inches suits standard toolroom chuck depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for cutting-tool fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish delivers a clean surface for inspection and further grinding operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece packaging allows individual replacement without overstocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard wire-gauge size 17 HSS drill blank suitable for use in toolroom applications requiring a 0.173-inch diameter cylindrical blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrill blanks are installed and used by machinists and tool grinders in a lathe, surface grinder, or similar toolroom equipment. Secure the workpiece properly in the machine spindle or collet before grinding operations begin. Always wear appropriate eye protection when grinding HSS stock, and follow shop safety procedures for rotating equipment. Do not attempt to use an unground blank as a finished cutting tool without proper tool geometry ground into the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Blank Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Blank Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.173 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlank Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01108174\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700392165682,"sku":"01108174","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/64213884565425b2ce1179060d5eba17.jpg?v=1788389772","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01108174-drill-blank-size-17-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
