Value Collection SC0820050 Hss Morse Taper Core Drill 25/32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0820050 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill bit designed for enlarging existing holes and producing precise bores in metal, wood, and composite materials. It measures 25/32 inch (0.7813 inch decimal) in cutting diameter and features a 4-flute geometry with a 118-degree included angle for efficient material removal. The oxide finish provides basic surface protection and reduces friction during cutting operations. With an overall length of 9-7/8 inches and a 6-inch flute length, this bit suits a range of medium-depth drilling applications. It is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance mechanics in shop and field environments.

This core drill is suited for metalworking operations where hole enlargement or reaming-to-size is required. The 2MT (No. 2 Morse taper) shank seats directly into compatible drill press spindles, milling machine quills, or lathe tailstocks without an adapter on most standard machines. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with conventional clockwise-rotation machine setups. It is appropriate for production and maintenance shops working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 25/32 inch (0.7813 inch decimal) cutting diameter for precise hole enlargement
• 4-flute design improves chip evacuation and surface finish compared to 2-flute alternatives
• No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) shank fits standard drill press, mill, and lathe tailstock spindles directly
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose metalworking and composite drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance
• High-speed steel construction retains hardness at elevated cutting temperatures

Compatibility

Designed for use in any machine spindle accepting a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) shank, including standard drill presses, milling machines, and lathe tailstocks configured for right-hand rotation.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance mechanic should install this bit into a clean, undamaged 2MT spindle socket. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Use a proper drift pin and drift slot to remove the bit safely — never strike the spindle housing directly. Confirm spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and cutting diameter before engaging the cut.
