Drill America 17/32 Reduced Shank HSS Black & Gold KFD Drill Bit 1/2 Shank 3-Flat Shank KFDRSD17/32

Drill America 17/32" Reduced Shank HSS Black & Gold KFD Drill Bit with 1/2" 3-Flat Shank (Model KFDRSD17/32) is a heavy-duty cutting tool engineered to drill large-diameter holes efficiently in tough materials using standard drills with smaller chuck capacities.
Key Features
Reduced Shank Design features a 1/2" shank diameter tailored to fit standard 1/2" drill chucks, allowing you to drill large 17/32" holes without needing heavy industrial drill presses
3-Flat Shank Configuration prevents slip and spinning inside the drill chuck under high torque loads, ensuring maximum power transfer and tool stability
135-Degree Split Point Tip starts on contact without walking or wandering, reducing thrust force and ensuring fast, accurate penetration in hard materials
High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction precision-machined and heat-treated to provide excellent thermal resistance, strength, and longevity for demanding drilling tasks
Black & Gold Surface Treatment features a black oxide finish to retain lubrication and a gold nitriding finish to increase surface hardness and wear resistance
