Value Collection SC0820048 Hss Morse Taper Core Drill 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0820048 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill designed for enlarging existing holes with precision and efficiency. Built with a 4-flute geometry and a 3/4-inch cutting diameter, this drill delivers smooth chip evacuation and consistent hole quality in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 2MT shank provides a secure, self-holding taper fit in compatible drill press spindles and milling machines. An oxide coating adds a layer of surface protection and helps reduce friction during cutting. With a 9-3/4-inch overall length and a 118-degree included angle, this tool suits a range of production drilling and shop maintenance applications.

This core drill is intended for use in machine shop, industrial maintenance, and manufacturing environments where core drilling of pre-drilled or cast holes is required. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation on drill presses and lathes. The 5-7/8-inch flute length accommodates adequate depth of cut for typical through-hole and blind-hole operations in steel, cast iron, and similar materials. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals using standard Morse taper tooling practices.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch (0.7500 inch decimal) cutting diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 2MT Morse taper shank for secure, self-holding fit in compatible spindles
• 4-flute design promotes efficient chip removal and improved surface finish
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) spindle socket.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using a standard Morse taper drift and mallet to seat and remove the shank from the spindle. Ensure the spindle and taper socket are clean and free of chips or oil before seating the tool to prevent slippage under load. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Cutting speed and feed rate should be selected based on workpiece material and machine capability following standard machining practice.
