Value Collection SC0400048 Hss Core Drill Bit 3/4 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400048 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metalworking and general machining applications. Built with a 4-flute configuration and a right-hand cutting direction, it delivers clean, efficient material removal. The bit measures 3/4 inch in diameter with a 9.75-inch overall length and a 5.875-inch flute length. An oxide finish provides added surface hardness and mild corrosion resistance. The 118-degree included angle is a standard general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This bit is installed and used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance mechanics working on drill presses, mills, and portable drilling equipment.

This core drill bit is suited for enlarging existing holes rather than drilling from solid stock, making it a practical tool in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The straight shank design fits standard drill chucks without requiring special adapters. Right-hand spiral direction ensures efficient chip evacuation during cutting. At 0.02 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during setup and changeover.

• 4-flute design promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip removal
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat generated during high-speed drilling operations
• Oxide coating adds surface hardness and mild protection against corrosion
• 118-degree included angle provides a versatile, general-purpose cutting geometry
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks without special tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks on drill presses, milling machines, and portable drilling equipment that accept 3/4 inch straight shank tooling.

Installation Notes

This bit is intended for use by qualified machinists or maintenance professionals familiar with drilling equipment setup and safe operating practices. Always secure the workpiece properly and ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
