Value Collection SC0850156 Morse Taper Core Drill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0850156 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill designed for large-diameter hole enlargement in metalworking and industrial applications. With a 1-7/8 inch cutting diameter and a 17-3/8 inch overall length, this tool is built for deep-hole drilling where reach and rigidity matter. The 5MT shank provides a secure, self-holding taper fit in compatible spindles and drill press quills. Four flutes offer efficient chip evacuation during extended cuts, while the oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional drill press and machine tool use.

This core drill is suited for metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments that require accurate hole enlargement in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is installed in machine tools equipped with a No. 5 Morse taper socket, including heavy-duty drill presses, radial arm drills, and milling machines. A 118-degree included angle makes it appropriate for general-purpose drilling across a range of common metals.

Key Features

• 1-7/8 inch (1.8750 inch decimal) cutting diameter for large-bore hole work
• Four flutes for improved chip clearance and smoother cutting action
• 5MT Morse taper shank for self-holding fit in compatible machine spindles
• 17-3/8 inch overall length with 10-3/8 inch flute length for deep-hole reach
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides surface protection
• 118-degree included angle suits general-purpose metalworking applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tool spindles with a No. 5 Morse taper socket, typical of heavy-duty drill presses and radial arm drilling machines used in industrial metalworking.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist or industrial maintenance technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the Morse taper shank. Ensure the spindle socket is clean and free of chips or burrs before driving the taper home. Use appropriate feeds and speeds for the workpiece material to avoid overheating the cutting edges.
