The 17/64″ Solid Carbide Drill Bit is precision engineered for farrier and traction-stud applications where durability, accuracy and consistent hole size matter. These bits are ideal for preparing the horseshoe steel to accept drive-in carbide studs like the FootPro C11 or C13, which call for a clean, accurate 17/64″ pilot hole.
Key Features
-
Exact size for FootPro studs – The requirement for the C11 and C13 solid carbide studs is a 17/64″ drill bit.
-
Solid carbide material – Offers high rigidity, wear resistance, and excellent performance in abrasive steel-shoe environments.
-
Precision ground geometry – Many solid carbide drill bits maintain tighter tolerances and resist heat-related wear better than HSS (High-Speed Steel) alternatives.
-
Consistent hole size – Helps ensure the stud seats properly without looseness or misalignment. As one industry note says: “Buy good quality, precise 17/64″ drill bits.”
