Value Collection SC0200026 Hss Core Drill Bit 13/32 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200026 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. It measures 13/32 inches (0.4063 inches decimal) in cutting diameter with a 7-inch overall length, making it suitable for deep-reach drilling applications. The three-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining hole accuracy. An oxide coating reduces surface friction and extends tool life under moderate-to-heavy cutting loads. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for use in conventional drill press and hand-held power tool setups. This bit is typically installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals requiring consistent bore quality.

This drill bit suits general-purpose production and maintenance drilling in shop and field environments. The straight shank allows direct chuck mounting in standard 3-jaw chucks on drill presses, milling machines, and portable power drills. The 4-3/8-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for through-hole and deep-hole work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople who need to core through sheet metal panels, brackets, or structural members during installation and service work.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling applications
• Oxide surface finish reduces friction and protects against corrosion during storage and use
• Three-flute design improves chip evacuation and supports clean bore finishes
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral for use with standard rotation drill equipment
• Straight shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw drill press chucks, milling machine spindles, and portable power drills that accept straight-shank tooling in the 13/32-inch size range.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized 3-jaw chuck before operation to prevent slippage and runout. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before drilling. Apply cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Disconnect power to the drill press or tool before changing bits or adjusting chuck engagement.
