Value Collection SC0400040 Hss Straight Core Drill 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400040 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and similar materials. Measuring 5/8 inch in diameter with an overall length of 8.75 inches, this drill bit features four flutes that promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The oxide coating provides added lubricity and helps resist heat buildup during operation. With a straight shank and right-hand cutting direction, it fits standard drill chucks and is suited for use on drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills used in machining and fabrication environments.

This core drill is a practical choice for machinists, tool and die makers, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in industrial and commercial shops. The 5/8-inch diameter and 4-flute geometry make it well suited for enlarging existing holes or producing clean through-holes in moderate-hardness materials. The 8.75-inch overall length provides reach in applications where standard-length bits fall short. The right-hand spiral direction is compatible with conventional drilling setups.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental core drill for use in standard drill press, milling machine, or compatible hand-held power drill setups accepting a straight-shank 5/8-inch bit.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trained technicians familiar with rotary cutting tools. Ensure the drill press or machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the bit. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck to the recommended depth before beginning any drilling operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when operating high-speed cutting tools.
