Value Collection SC0200048 Hss Core Drill 3/4 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0200048 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built with a 3-flute geometry and a right-hand cutting direction, this bit delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean bore entry. The 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling across a range of workpiece materials. At 9.75 inches overall length with a 5.875-inch flute length, it provides reach for deeper applications without sacrificing rigidity. An oxide coating reduces friction and offers basic surface protection during operation. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance tradespeople working with drill presses or handheld equipment will find this a practical shop-floor tool.

This core drill bit is suited for applications requiring a straight shank interface, including standard drill chucks on drill presses, magnetic drills, and portable power tools. The 3-flute configuration is common in core drilling operations where a pilot hole already exists, allowing the additional flutes to enlarge or finish the bore. It is appropriate for light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication environments handling ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention during metal drilling
• 3-flute design promotes faster chip removal compared to standard 2-flute twist drills
• Right-hand spiral and cutting direction for use with standard drill rotation
• 118-degree included angle for general-purpose drilling across common materials
• Oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill bit compatible with drill presses, magnetic base drills, and handheld power tools equipped with a standard keyless or keyed chuck accepting a straight shank configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the workpiece firmly before engaging the drill to prevent movement. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the bit is properly seated before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when operating drilling equipment.
