Value Collection SC0200018 Hss Core Drill 9/32 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200018 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. With a 9/32-inch cutting diameter and a 3-flute geometry, this drill moves material efficiently and maintains accuracy through the cut. The oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance for extended tool life. At 6.25 inches overall length, it fits standard drill chucks and drill press setups used in fabrication, maintenance, and trade service work. Installation and setup are handled by machinists, maintenance techs, and general trade professionals across a range of shop and field applications.

This core drill is suited for through-hole and enlargement drilling operations in light to medium fabrication work. The straight shank allows direct chuck mounting on handheld drills, drill presses, and milling machines. The 3-flute configuration provides more cutting edges than a standard twist drill, making it effective for enlarging existing holes or starting in center-punched locations. Right-hand spiral direction and right-hand cutting action match the standard rotation of most powered drilling equipment.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across metal and composite materials
• 9/32-inch (0.2813 inches decimal) cutting diameter for precise sizing
• 3-flute design increases cutting edges and improves chip evacuation
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides surface protection
• Straight shank for direct chuck compatibility on standard drilling equipment
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill compatible with standard drill chucks on handheld power drills, drill presses, and milling machines accepting straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and confirm concentricity to avoid runout. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal applications to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate PPE during drilling operations.
