Value Collection SC0200042 Hss Core Drill Bit 21/32 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200042 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precise, clean hole-boring in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built with a 21/32-inch (0.6563 inch decimal) cutting diameter and a 3-flute geometry, this bit delivers efficient chip evacuation and reduced chatter during drilling operations. The oxide coating provides baseline corrosion resistance and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge. At 9 inches overall length with a 5-1/8-inch flute length, it reaches deeper workpieces than standard jobber-length bits. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction suit the majority of standard drill press and handheld drilling setups. The 118-degree included angle makes it well suited for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This core drill bit is applicable across general metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance operations where an extended-length straight-shank bit is required. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks without requiring specialized toolholders, making it a practical choice for machine shops, maintenance technicians, and industrial trade professionals working on production or repair applications. The 3-flute configuration is particularly effective when drilling through pre-existing holes or thin-walled tubing where core drill geometry outperforms standard twist bits.

Key Features

• 21/32-inch (0.6563 inch) cutting diameter for precise sizing
• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 3-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and smoother bore finish
• 9-inch overall length with 5-1/8-inch flute length for extended reach
• Oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides corrosion resistance
• Right-hand spiral and 118-degree included angle for general-purpose drilling compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks with straight-shank tooling capacity sufficient for a 21/32-inch shank diameter, suitable for drill presses, magnetic drills, and compatible handheld drilling equipment used in general metalworking and fabrication.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a keyed or keyless chuck rated for straight-shank tooling. Ensure the drill press or handheld unit is powered off and locked out before inserting or removing the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain bore quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking at the start of the cut.
