The cutting diameter is 0.1730 inches with a 140-degree split point geometry and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces walking and improves chip evacuation. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, the bit is suited for hand-held drills, drill presses, and mill setups where a standard straight-shank jobber bit is required. A fast spiral flute promotes efficient chip clearing during moderate-feed drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for maintenance, fabrication, and production drilling in residential and light commercial trade settings. Electricians, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and general fabricators commonly use wire-gauge jobber bits in this size range for conduit knockouts, sheet metal pilot holes, anchor pilot holes, and through-holes in structural steel up to the capacity of the drill press or handheld tool being used. The 2.1875-inch flute length provides adequate depth capacity for most through-hole applications in standard material thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 17 wire gauge size — 0.1730 inches cutting diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced thrust and improved self-centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in steel and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction suitable for general-purpose drilling across multiple workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or delaminate during regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI specification compliance for consistent dimensional tolerancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for standard 3-jaw chuck setups accepting a 0.1730-inch straight shank.

Secure the straight shank fully into a properly sized 3-jaw chuck before drilling and verify chuck key removal before powering the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life, noting that this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and do not use a bit that shows cracking, chipping, or significant wear at the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 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\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\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum and Non-Ferrous, Wood\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\u003eSpecification Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BS26N0017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714458976562,"sku":"BS26N0017","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d5901fb3a237eb15b4dc9b67ea1222e1.jpg?v=1788501749","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs26n0017-jobber-drill-bit-no-17-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
