Value Collection SC0840124 Hss Morse Taper Core Drill 1-3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0840124 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill designed for enlarging and finishing existing holes in metal and other hard materials. Built with a 4-flute configuration, this drill produces cleaner hole walls and improved chip evacuation compared to standard 2-flute designs. The 1-3/8 inch cutting diameter and 14-1/2 inch overall length make it suited to deep-reach drilling applications. The No. 4 Morse taper shank seats securely in compatible spindles and drill press quills. An oxide coating provides basic lubrication and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional drill press and machining center setups.

This core drill is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where holes require accurate sizing rather than origination from solid stock. Typical applications include enlarging cored, punched, or pre-drilled holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 4MT shank fits drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with No. 4 Morse taper sockets. The 8-7/8 inch flute length accommodates substantial depth-of-cut requirements in thick plate and structural work.

Key Features

• 1-3/8 inch (1.3750 inch decimal) cutting diameter for accurate hole sizing
• 4-flute geometry improves surface finish and chip flow over 2-flute alternatives
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat buildup in sustained drilling cycles
• No. 4 Morse taper shank provides positive seating in compatible spindles
• Oxide finish offers light lubrication and basic corrosion protection
• Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction for standard machine rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers fitted with a No. 4 Morse taper (4MT) socket. Suitable for enlarging existing holes rather than drilling from solid stock.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank taper and the spindle socket before insertion to ensure full seating and prevent shank movement under load. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
