Value Collection SC0830056 Hss Morse Taper Core Drill 7/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0830056 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 design and a right-hand spiral, this drill produces cleaner entry and improved chip evacuation compared to standard 2-flute designs. It mounts via a No. 3 Morse taper (3MT) shank for secure seating in compatible drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. An oxide coating reduces friction and helps extend tool life in production environments. Licensed machinists, toolroom techs, and maintenance professionals are the primary users.

This core drill is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance settings. It handles enlarging cored, punched, or previously drilled holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 7/8 inch cutting diameter and 6-1/8 inch flute length make it appropriate for through-hole and moderate-depth applications on drill presses and manual lathes. No specific OEM system compatibility is stated for this SKU.

Key Features

Designed for use in any drill press, lathe, or milling machine spindle accepting a No. 3 Morse taper (3MT) toolholder. No specific brand or model compatibility is stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the tool taper and the spindle socket thoroughly before insertion to ensure full contact and prevent slippage. Use a proper drift key and soft mallet for removal — never pry against the flutes or cutting edges.
