Value Collection SC0400038 Hss Straight Core Drill Bit 19/32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400038 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. Measuring 19/32 inches (0.5938 inches decimal) in diameter with an 8-3/4 inch overall length, this bit delivers consistent bore quality in demanding shop and field applications. The oxide coating provides surface hardness and heat resistance during extended cutting cycles. With four flutes and a right-hand spiral direction, it clears chips efficiently and maintains stable tracking through the workpiece. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this style of bit for through-hole and core drilling tasks where a standard twist drill is not appropriate.

This straight core drill bit suits general metalworking, maintenance repair operations, and light fabrication work. The straight shank makes it compatible with standard drill chucks and machine spindles without adapters. The 4-7/8 inch flute length accommodates moderate-depth bores in a single pass. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, milling machines, and heavy-duty hand drills where the chuck capacity matches the shank diameter. A right-hand cutting direction means it operates with conventional clockwise spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 19/32 inch diameter (0.5938 inches decimal) for precise, consistent bore sizing
• High-speed steel construction withstands elevated cutting temperatures
• Oxide coating adds surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting
• Four-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action
• 8-3/4 inch overall length with 4-7/8 inch flute length for moderate-depth bores
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for use with standard clockwise-rotation spindles
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill bit compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and heavy-duty hand drills equipped with a chuck sized to accept the straight shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in a calibrated drill chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Power down and lock out the machine before bit changes. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the edge geometry is compromised.
