Value Collection SC0200034 Hss Core Drill 17/32 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200034 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and similar materials. Sized at 17/32 inch (0.5313 inch decimal), this drill bit delivers consistent, repeatable cuts across a range of trade and industrial applications. The 3-flute design improves chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup compared to standard 2-flute bits. An oxide coating provides added surface hardness and corrosion resistance. With an 8-inch overall length and a 4.75-inch flute length, this bit suits both standard drill presses and handheld setups where reach is a factor. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals are the primary users.

This core drill is suited for use in metal fabrication, mechanical maintenance, HVAC rough-in work, and general industrial applications where a 17/32-inch hole is required. The straight shank allows direct chucking in standard drill presses, magnetic base drills, and hand drills with compatible chuck sizes. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with conventional forward-rotation drill equipment. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop use and field service work.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist, maintenance technician, or trade professional using a compatible drill press or handheld drill. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating drilling equipment.
