Value Collection SC0200028 Hss Core Drill 7/16 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200028 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. With a 7/16-inch cutting diameter and a 7-1/4-inch overall length, this drill provides extended reach in deep-hole applications. The three-flute configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation and improved cutting stability compared to standard two-flute designs. An oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during use. The 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with drill presses or hand-held equipment will find this a reliable workhorse bit.

This straight-shank core drill is suited for use in drill presses, CNC equipment, and handheld power drills where a standard straight-shank interface is present. It performs well in production shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction align with standard clockwise-rotation equipment. With a 4-5/8-inch flute length, the bit handles moderate-depth holes without requiring frequent repositioning or step-drilling on thicker stock.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in any drill press, CNC machine, or power drill accepting a straight-shank bit with a 7/16-inch shank diameter and standard three-jaw or collet chuck interfaces.

Installation Notes

Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened on the straight shank. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal applications to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses and gloves when handling or operating drill tooling.
