Drill bit Proedge HSS-G 17.0 mm for metal, 1 pc, brand Proedge (MPN 4932500407)

Proedge HSS-G 17.0 mm metal drill bit is engineered for precise holemaking in steel and other ferrous materials. This single-piece high-speed steel (HSS-G) bit features a ground flute geometry that supports accurate, clean drilling with good edge retention. It is suitable for use in both handheld drills and drill presses where repeatable results and durable cutting performance are required.

Advantages

The ground HSS geometry provides consistent cutting edges and reduced vibration for cleaner holes and longer tool life. Its 17.0 mm diameter offers a balance between strength and chip evacuation when working with typical workshop metals. The bit is produced to deliver stable performance under high-speed drilling conditions and maintain concentricity for improved hole accuracy.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and other ferrous metals
• Use in handheld electric drills
• Use in drill presses and pillar drills
• Workshop and light industrial metalworking tasks

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (ground HSS-G)
• Diameter: 17.0 mm
• Tip geometry: Ground flute for precise cutting
• Recommended materials: Steel and other ferrous metals
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the workpiece and select an appropriate drill speed for the material thickness and hardness. Clamp the 17.0 mm Proedge HSS-G bit in the drill chuck, ensuring firm seating and alignment. Use steady feed pressure and maintain coolant or cutting fluid for improved chip removal and to reduce heat buildup when drilling steel. Withdraw periodically to clear chips on deep holes and check hole dimensions for accuracy.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use cutting fluid and moderate spindle speeds matched to the steel grade. Ensure correct chuck tightening and avoid excessive side loads to preserve the bit’s cutting edges and concentricity.
