This 4-flute drill measures 2-5\/8 inches (2.6250 inches decimal) in cutting diameter with a 19-1\/2 inch overall length and an 11-7\/8 inch flute length. The 5MT Morse taper shank provides a secure, self-centering connection in compatible drill press and machine spindles. An oxide coating helps reduce friction and extend tool life during extended drilling cycles. Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional machine tool setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis core drill is suited for metalworking shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments where hole enlargement rather than spot drilling is the task. The 4-flute design provides improved stability and surface finish compared to a standard 2-flute twist drill when working in pre-existing holes. Typical applications include enlarging cast, punched, or previously drilled holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A licensed machinist or tool-and-die technician is the typical end user, though it is also used in general industrial maintenance settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of metal workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute geometry improves hole finish and cutting stability in pre-drilled holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5MT Morse taper shank for self-centering fit in compatible machine spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and aids chip evacuation during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree included angle suitable for general-purpose metalworking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral for use in standard forward-rotating spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, lathes, or milling machines equipped with a No. 5 Morse taper (5MT) spindle socket.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully de-energized and at rest before seating or removing the Morse taper shank. Use a proper taper sleeve or drift to seat and eject the shank without damaging the taper surfaces. Always verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material and drill diameter before starting the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/8 inches (2.6250 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Morse Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SC0850240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051695042866,"sku":"SC0850240","price":1299.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0f25381c89fcf596c2abeacb68507c24_56264ade-5ef1-4eef-bbd2-059ec4b75221.jpg?v=1790034984","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-sc0850240-hss-morse-taper-core-drill-2-5-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
