Value Collection SC0400032 Hss Core Drill 1/2 Inch 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400032 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and similar materials. With a 1/2-inch cutting diameter and a 7-3/4-inch overall length, this drill bit delivers reach and stability in deep-hole drilling applications. Four right-hand spiral flutes efficiently evacuate chips during cutting, reducing heat buildup and improving bore quality. An oxide finish provides modest surface hardness and corrosion resistance. The 118-degree included angle is a standard general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of workpiece materials. This tool is a staple for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on drilling operations that require consistent bore sizing.

This straight-shank core drill is suited to general-purpose production and maintenance drilling in light manufacturing, HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing rough-in work, and electrical trade applications where 1/2-inch bored holes are required. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks on floor-standing drill presses, bench drills, and compatible handheld power tools. A 4-3/4-inch flute length provides adequate cutting depth for most through-hole and blind-hole tasks in trade and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch (0.5000 inch) cutting diameter for consistent, on-size bores
• High-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during sustained drilling operations
• Four right-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting friction
• 7-3/4-inch overall length and 4-3/4-inch flute length for extended reach applications
• 118-degree included angle delivers standard general-purpose cutting geometry
• Oxide coating provides surface protection and modest lubricity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 1/2-inch straight shank on drill presses and handheld power drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotary cutting tool safety. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the chuck is fully tightened onto the straight shank. Always power down and de-energize any connected drilling equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metal to extend tool life and improve bore finish.
