Value Collection SC0400054 Hss Core Drill Bit 27/32 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400054 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and composite materials. With a 27/32-inch cutting diameter (0.8438 inches decimal) and a 10-inch overall length, this bit handles deep-reach drilling applications where standard jobber-length drills fall short. Four flutes and an oxide coating work together to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation during operation. The 118-degree included angle makes it well suited for drilling into ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Tradespeople and machinists working with drill presses, lathes, or hand-held power tools will find this bit a reliable addition to their setup.

This core drill bit is appropriate for use in metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical conduit applications where accurately sized, clean-edged holes are required. The straight shank provides a secure grip in standard three-jaw chucks across a range of machine types. The 6-1/8-inch flute length allows for deeper cuts without repositioning, making it a practical choice for through-hole work in thicker stock materials.

Key Features

• 27/32-inch (0.8438 inches) cutting diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during prolonged cutting
• Oxide coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• Four flutes promote efficient chip removal and cleaner hole walls
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose metal drilling
• 10-inch overall length and 6-1/8-inch flute length accommodate deep-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank core drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill press chucks and hand-held power drill drivers that accept straight-shank tooling in the appropriate size range.

Installation Notes

Install this bit in a properly rated drill press or power tool chuck and tighten securely before operation. Disconnect or de-energize the tool before changing bits. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Verify the workpiece is firmly clamped or secured per standard machine shop practice before beginning the cut.
