Value Collection SC0850152 Hss Morse Taper Core Drill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0850152 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill designed for heavy-duty hole enlargement and finishing in metalworking applications. Built with a 4-flute geometry and a 5MT shank taper, this drill delivers smooth material removal and stable cutting at larger diameters. The 1-13/16 inch (1.8125 inches decimal) cutting diameter is well suited for through-hole and counterbore operations where accuracy and tool rigidity are required. An oxide coating provides basic lubricity and surface protection during cutting. The overall length of 17-1/8 inches and a flute length of 10-1/8 inches give this drill the reach needed for deep-hole work on production machinery and manual mills.

This core drill is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments where existing pilot holes need to be opened to a precise finished diameter. The Morse taper shank mounts directly into compatible taper-socket spindles on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines without an intermediate chuck. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional spindle rotation. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• 1-13/16 inch (1.8125 inches) cutting diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of metal workpieces
• 5MT Morse taper shank for direct spindle mounting without a chuck
• 4-flute design promotes chip evacuation and improved surface finish
• 10-1/8 inch flute length supports deep-hole reach applications
• Oxide finish provides surface protection and reduced friction during operation

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine spindles and drill press quills with a No. 5 Morse taper socket. Suitable for enlarging existing holes in metalworking applications where a pilot bore is already present.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics. Power off and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank from the spindle socket. Clean both the taper shank and the spindle socket before insertion to ensure full contact and prevent shank slippage under load. Use a proper drift key and soft-faced mallet for removal to avoid damaging the taper surfaces.
