17/64″ Mechanics Length Drill Bit – M-7 High-Speed Steel, Black & Gold Oxide, 135° Split Point, 3-Flat Shank – Precision Metal Drilling

The DBDFML-17/64 mechanics length drill bit is built from M-7 molybdenum high-speed steel and treated with a black and gold oxide finish to minimize friction and improve chip flow. Its 135° split point ensures accurate, self-centering starts, reducing walking and providing a cleaner hole entry. The 3-flat shank prevents rotation in the chuck under high torque, making it suitable for demanding drilling in hard metals. Its shorter mechanics length allows for superior rigidity and control during precision operations.
