Value Collection SC0850148 Morse Taper Core Drill 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0850148 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill designed for precision hole enlarging and core drilling in metal fabrication and machining applications. The drill measures 1.750 inches in cutting diameter with a 17.125-inch overall length, making it suited for deep-hole and extended-reach work on drill presses and milling machines. The 5MT Morse taper shank provides a secure, self-holding fit in compatible spindles and arbors. An oxide finish reduces friction and helps resist heat buildup during cutting. This tool is intended for use by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and metalworking tradespeople.

This core drill is used in industrial and production metalworking environments where accurate hole sizing and smooth bore finishing are required. The four-flute design improves chip evacuation and surface finish quality compared to standard two-flute configurations. With a 118-degree included angle, the geometry suits general-purpose drilling into steel and similar ferrous materials. The right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with conventional spindle rotation on standard machine tools.

Key Features

• 1.750-inch cutting diameter for precise hole enlarging
• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal drilling
• 5MT Morse taper shank for self-holding fit in compatible spindles
• Four flutes for improved chip flow and bore finish quality
• 10.125-inch flute length supports extended-reach drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and aids heat resistance during operation
• 118-degree included angle for general-purpose metalworking geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with machine tool spindles and drill press arbors that accept a No. 5 Morse taper (5MT) shank. Suitable for general-purpose core drilling in ferrous metals on standard drill presses and milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with Morse taper tooling. Ensure the spindle taper bore and shank are clean and free of debris before seating the taper to achieve proper holding force. Power down the machine and confirm the spindle is fully stopped before inserting or removing the tool. Use a drift key through the spindle slot to safely eject the taper shank when changing tools.
