Value Collection SC0400034 Hss Core Drill Bit 17/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400034 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for metal drilling applications in trade and industrial settings. Measuring 17/32 inch (0.5313 inch decimal) in diameter with an 8-inch overall length, this bit handles deep-hole drilling where standard twist bits fall short. The 4-flute geometry improves chip evacuation and cutting stability. An oxide coating reduces friction and extends cutting life. Machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators reach for this style of bit when boring through steel, cast iron, or similar ferrous materials in production or field repair work.

This straight-shank core drill bit is suited for use in drill presses, magnetic base drills, and compatible hand-held power drills used in metal fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and on-site structural work. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard forward-rotation drill equipment. The 4-3/4-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance during deep passes.

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank core drill bit for use in standard drill presses, magnetic base drills, and hand-held power drills equipped with a compatible chuck size for a 17/32-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators working under general shop safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant to manage heat during extended cuts in ferrous material. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating rotary cutting tools.
