Value Collection SC0850200 Hss Core Drill Bit 2 in 4 Flute 5MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC0850200 is a high-speed steel Morse taper core drill bit designed for enlarging existing holes to a finished diameter of 2 inches. Built with four flutes and an oxide finish, it delivers smooth chip evacuation and consistent cutting performance in metal and similar materials. The 5MT shank seats securely in compatible Morse taper spindles, and the 17-3/8-inch overall length provides the reach needed for deeper drilling applications. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction make this a standard-configuration tool for machine shop and industrial drilling setups. This bit is typically used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on drill presses, milling machines, and similar machine tool equipment.

This core drill is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where existing holes require accurate enlargement rather than origination. The four-flute design improves hole geometry and surface finish compared to two-flute alternatives, making it appropriate for close-tolerance work. It is not intended for use in hand-held portable drilling equipment. The 5MT shank designation limits its use to spindles with a No. 5 Morse taper socket or a compatible adapter sleeve.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance and edge retention in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Four flutes improve hole roundness, surface finish, and chip clearance
• 5MT Morse taper shank ensures positive, repeatable seating in compatible spindles
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides corrosion resistance during storage and use
• Right-hand spiral and cutting direction for standard machine tool spindle rotation
• 17-3/8-inch overall length with a 10-3/8-inch flute length for extended reach drilling

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tool spindles with a No. 5 Morse taper (5MT) socket, or with an appropriate Morse taper adapter or sleeve. Not compatible with straight-shank chucks or hand-held drill equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on stationary machine tools such as drill presses or milling machines. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Ensure the taper socket and shank are clean and free of chips or burrs before insertion to achieve full taper contact. Use a drift and drift slot to safely remove the bit after use — do not strike the bit body directly.
