The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that provides basic lubricity and surface protection during cutting. At 0.173 inches in diameter and 3.375 inches overall length, it fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks. The 118-degree standard point angle is the conventional geometry for drilling into metal, and the web-thinned, tapered-web configuration reduces thrust required to start and penetrate the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jobber drill is suited for production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, HVAC sheet metal work, and general mechanical trade applications. The straight cylindrical shank accepts any standard drill chuck on a drill press, hand drill, or mill. The right-hand spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations in ferrous stock. Sold individually; note that the minimum order quantity from the supplier is 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 17 wire size, 0.1730 inch diameter for precise hole sizing in metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles the heat generated in metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating provides surface lubricity and basic corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suits general ferrous metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces drill thrust and improves penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flute with 2.1875 inch flute length for effective chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill for use in steel and cast iron workpieces.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or cutting oil when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. A licensed machinist or qualified trade professional should verify drill speed (RPM) against the workpiece material and bit diameter before operation. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\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: Regular 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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\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: 01188176\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696853647666,"sku":"01188176","price":42.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ea521a19b855ef020ab27ba201634f70.jpg?v=1788347064","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01188176-no-17-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
