Value Collection SC0400062 Hss Core Drill Bit 31/32 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0400062 is a high-speed steel straight core drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and other machinable materials. Built with four flutes and an oxide finish, this bit delivers efficient chip evacuation and extended service life in standard drilling applications. The straight shank provides secure chuck engagement across compatible drill presses, hand drills, and CNC setups. At 0.9688 inches (31/32 inch) in diameter with an 11-inch overall length, this bit suits deep-reach drilling tasks where shorter bits cannot reach. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users.

This core drill bit is suited for production and maintenance environments requiring deep-hole drilling at near one-inch diameter. The 6-3/8-inch flute length allows for substantial material removal before chip packing becomes a concern. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction match standard drill press and handheld power tool configurations. The 118-degree included angle is a general-purpose point geometry appropriate for most metals and structural materials encountered in industrial and trade applications.

Key Features

• 31/32 inch (0.9688 inches) drill bit diameter for near one-inch bore applications
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during sustained drilling
• Oxide coating finish reduces friction and provides corrosion resistance
• Four-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling
• 11-inch overall length with 6-3/8-inch flute length for deep-reach access
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling in metal and similar materials

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank core drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting up to one-inch shank diameters on drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld power drills.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified trade technicians familiar with drill press and power tool operation. Always secure the workpiece and power down the machine before changing or inspecting the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal applications to reduce heat and extend bit life. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the bit diameter as specified by the machine manufacturer.
