Value Collection SC0400052 Hss Straight Core Drill 13/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400052 is a high-speed steel straight core drill designed for precise, clean-bore drilling in metal fabrication and trade mechanical applications. The 13/16 inch cutting diameter and four-flute geometry deliver controlled chip evacuation and consistent hole quality in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With an overall length of 10 inches and a 6.125-inch flute length, this bit handles moderate-depth cores without excessive deflection. The oxide finish reduces friction and surface galling during cut entry. Licensed contractors, pipefitters, and mechanical tradespeople installing conduit knockouts, pipe penetrations, or structural anchor holes will find this drill suited to repeated production use.

This straight core drill is used in shop and field settings wherever a 13/16 inch bore is required in metal, including conduit hole preparation, pipe flange clearance drilling, and mechanical anchor installations. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks on bench drills, magnetic drills, and portable electric drills. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are compatible with conventional forward-rotation drilling equipment used across electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades.

Key Features

• 13/16 inch (0.8125 inch) cutting diameter for precise bore sizing
• Four-flute design promotes chip clearance and reduces heat buildup
• High-speed steel construction resists wear in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Oxide finish lowers friction at the cutting edge and extends service life
• 10-inch overall length with 6.125-inch flute length for moderate-depth core work
• 118-degree included angle provides standard general-purpose entry geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accommodating a straight shank, compatible with bench-mounted drill presses, portable electric drills, and magnetic base drills equipped for right-hand rotation.

Installation Notes

Install and operate this drill bit following applicable OSHA machining safety requirements and the drill press or portable tool manufacturer guidelines. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid to manage heat on harder stock. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present. Disconnect power or lock out the drive tool before bit installation or removal.
