Value Collection SC0200040 Hss Core Drill 5/8 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200040 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision boring in metal, wood, and composite materials. The 5/8-inch cutting diameter and 3-flute geometry allow for efficient chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup during extended use. At 8.75 inches overall length with a 4.875-inch flute length, this drill provides reach and rigidity for deep-hole applications. The oxide coating improves surface hardness and offers mild corrosion resistance. The straight shank mounts directly in standard drill chucks and collet holders. Right-hand cutting direction with a 118-degree included angle makes this a general-purpose configuration suited to a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks.

This core drill is used in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and trade applications where precise, clean-bored holes are required. The straight shank and standard 118-degree point angle make it compatible with bench drills, drill presses, and hand-held drilling equipment found in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. Typical applications include enlarging existing holes, drilling through metal brackets, electrical enclosures, sheet metal, and structural members where a reamed or finished bore is needed.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch (0.6250 inch) cutting diameter for precise, consistent hole sizing
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat and wear in metal drilling applications
• 3-flute design promotes faster chip removal and smoother bore finish compared to 2-flute bits
• Oxide finish provides added surface hardness and mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling across a range of materials
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill compatible with drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held drilling equipment that accept a straight-shank bit in the appropriate chuck or collet size.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill powered off and fully stopped. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or movement during the cut. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling through ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Follow applicable OSHA and shop safety standards for rotating cutting tools, including proper eye protection and secure chuck tightening before operation.
