Value Collection SC0400044 Hss Straight Core Drill 11/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400044 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precise, clean-entry hole drilling in metal and other hard materials. Built with a 4-flute configuration and an oxide finish, this bit delivers controlled chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup during operation. The 11/16-inch cutting diameter and 9-1/4-inch overall length make it well-suited for deep-reach drilling applications where standard jobber-length bits fall short. Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral geometry follow conventional drill press and handheld power tool setups. Machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals working with structural steel, plate stock, or mechanical components will find this bit a reliable production tool.

This core drill is appropriate for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and on-site metalworking applications. The straight shank accommodates standard drill chucks without requiring a specialty holder. The 5-3/8-inch flute length provides ample clearance for deep-hole work while maintaining rigidity through the unfluted shank section. It is commonly used in HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in through metal framing, and electrical conduit entry work where an enlarged, clean bore is required through steel or similar materials.

Key Features

• 11/16-inch (0.6875 inch) cutting diameter for precise bore sizing
• High-speed steel construction for durability in metal drilling applications
• 4-flute design promotes efficient chip removal and smoother bore finish
• Oxide coating reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• 9-1/4-inch overall length with 5-3/8-inch flute length for deep-reach capability
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral compatible with standard drill equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank core drill compatible with standard drill chucks accepting 11/16-inch shank tooling on drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld power tools.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with metal drilling procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and maintain bore quality. Verify that the drill press or power tool RPM is set within the recommended range for high-speed steel bits cutting the target material. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
