Value Collection SC0200024 Hss Core Drill 3/8 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200024 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. With a 3/8-inch cutting diameter and a 3-flute geometry, this drill produces cleaner chip evacuation and faster material removal compared to standard 2-flute designs. The oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge. The 118-degree included angle makes it well-suited for drilling into a range of common materials. At 0.02 pounds, this is a lightweight tooling piece suited for bench-top drilling operations, CNC setups, and handheld power tool use. Installation and operation are handled by machinists, fabricators, and skilled tradespeople.

This core drill is appropriate for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where consistent, right-hand spiral drilling is required. The straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. The 4-1/4-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for moderate-depth drilling applications. The 6-3/4-inch overall length gives enough working clearance for most benchtop and vertical mill setups.

Key Features

• 3-flute design improves chip evacuation and surface finish compared to 2-flute alternatives
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat generated in continuous drilling applications
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• 118-degree included angle suits drilling into a wide range of common materials
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral for standard chuck compatibility
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank core drill for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 3/8-inch shank diameter in benchtop drill presses, vertical mills, and handheld power drills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or skilled tradespeople. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.
