Value Collection SC0820040 Hss Morse Taper Core Drill 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0820040 is a high-speed steel (HSS) Morse taper core drill designed for enlarging or finishing existing holes in metal and other hard materials. Built with a 4-flute geometry, it improves chip evacuation and cutting stability compared to standard 2-flute designs. The drill measures 5/8 inch (0.625 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 8-3/4 inches and a flute length of 4-7/8 inches. A 2MT (Number 2 Morse Taper) shank provides a secure, self-holding fit in compatible machine spindles. An oxide coating reduces friction and helps resist corrosion. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional drilling operations.

This core drill is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and machining environments where precise hole enlargement is required. The 4-flute configuration makes it appropriate for use in drill presses, milling machines, and manual or CNC machines equipped with a Morse taper adapter or spindle. It is typically used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with pre-drilled or cast holes that need to be brought to final diameter.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications
• 4-flute design for improved chip flow and surface finish in existing holes
• 2MT Morse taper shank for self-holding fit in standard machine spindles
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose drilling applications
• Right-hand spiral and cutting direction compatible with standard machine rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, milling machines, or similar equipment fitted with a Number 2 Morse Taper spindle or adapter sleeve.

Installation Notes

This drill is installed by a machinist or qualified tool operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before seating or removing the Morse taper shank. Clean both the shank and the spindle socket before insertion to ensure full contact and prevent slippage. Always operate at a feed rate and RPM appropriate for the workpiece material and drill diameter per standard machining references.
