Value Collection SC0400046 Hss Core Drill 23/32 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400046 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. With a 23/32-inch cutting diameter and 4-flute geometry, this bit delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth bore quality in demanding applications. The oxide finish extends surface hardness and provides mild corrosion resistance during storage and use. An overall length of 9.5 inches accommodates deeper drilling reach, while the straight shank mates with standard drill chucks for quick setup. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and fabricators working on drill press or CNC setups will find this bit sized for precise through-hole and step-drilling work.

This core drill is suited for industrial and shop environments where accurate hole sizing is required without a pilot hole. The 4-flute design is typically used to enlarge an existing hole rather than originate one from solid stock, making it a finishing or sizing tool in fabrication workflows. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional drill press and CNC spindle rotation. The 5.625-inch flute length provides substantial cutting zone depth for thicker workpieces.

Key Features

• 23/32-inch (0.7188 inch decimal) cutting diameter for precise hole sizing
• 4-flute configuration promotes efficient chip removal and smooth bore finish
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat generated in prolonged drilling cycles
• Oxide coating adds surface hardness and mild corrosion protection
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for conventional spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use core drill for standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machining centers requiring a 23/32-inch diameter 4-flute core drill.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or fabricator and requires a compatible straight-shank drill chuck rated for the spindle speed and torque of the machine in use. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent rotation during drilling. Core drills of this type require a pre-existing pilot hole or starter bore and are not intended to drill from solid stock.
