The Pluto 13/16 x 5-3/4 x 9/16 x 2 Inch Core Drill with Taper Shank is a high-performance cutting tool designed for precise core drilling applications in a variety of materials. This core drill features a taper shank, making it ideal for use with a wide range of drilling machines such as CNC machines, manual lathes, and drill presses. It is commonly used for hole enlargement, through-hole drilling, and deep drilling where accuracy and smooth finishes are essential.
Key Features:
- Core Drilling Precision: The Pluto Core Drill is designed for creating precise holes in a range of materials, from metals to plastics and composites. It is especially suited for core drilling applications, where the goal is to drill a clean, smooth hole with minimal burrs and a good surface finish. This is ideal for processes that require hole enlargement, counterboring, or when creating holes for subsequent operations.
- Optimized Dimensions:
- Drill Diameter: 13/16 inch (20.64 mm)
- Drill Length: 5-3/4 inches (146.05 mm)
- Cutting Depth: 9/16 inch (14.29 mm)
- Overall Length: 2 inches (50.8 mm)
- Shank Diameter: 2-inch taper shank for secure mounting
The 13/16-inch cutting diameter makes it suitable for creating moderately sized holes, while the cutting depth of 9/16-inch allows for reliable material removal. The 2-inch overall length provides sufficient reach to accommodate different machining setups, especially when working with thicker or harder materials.
- Taper Shank for Secure Fit: The taper shank design ensures the core drill is securely held in a drill chuck or machine spindle, providing excellent stability during drilling operations. Tapered shanks are preferred for their ability to resist loosening under high torque, and they ensure a more rigid setup compared to straight shanks. This results in better cutting accuracy and reduced tool vibrations.
- Durable and High-Quality Construction: The Pluto Core Drill is constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide (depending on the model), both of which offer excellent heat resistance, wear resistance, and sharpness retention. HSS is suitable for general-purpose drilling in moderate hardness materials, while carbide is ideal for high-performance drilling in harder materials, offering superior cutting efficiency and tool longevity.
- Efficient Material Removal: The tool’s cutting geometry is optimized to remove material efficiently while minimizing cutting forces, reducing tool wear, and extending tool life. The sharp cutting edges and robust design of the core drill ensure that it maintains a clean and accurate hole even in difficult materials.
- Versatility in Material Cutting: The Pluto Core Drill is designed to handle a variety of materials, making it suitable for many different industrial applications:
- Metals: Suitable for drilling holes in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum.
- Plastics and Composites: Performs well in drilling softer materials, such as PVC, acrylic, and composites.
- Wood: It can also be used in woodworking applications where precision holes or counterboring is needed.
- Precise Hole Finishing: Core drills like this one are often used to create clean, smooth holes with little or no burrs. The tool is designed to leave a quality finish, which is essential in applications where the hole must be precisely dimensioned or used for further operations like tapping, reaming, or press fitting.
- Ease of Use: The taper shank design allows for quick and easy installation into standard machine tool holders or collets, reducing setup time and improving machine efficiency. The 2-inch taper shank ensures that the tool fits securely in most machines, providing a reliable and stable connection during drilling.
