Same Day Shipping M.A. FORD 78037503 3/8″ Size, 1/4″ Shank Diam., 90° Carbide Six Flute Countersink

Cut Perfect Conical Holes to Fit Varying Screw Heads with M.A. Ford’s Countersinks. This is the original 6-fluted countersink from M.A. Ford under its registered brand name. The straight shank, multi-flute countersink tool is made from carbide. It supports enlarging the opening of a hole on a wide range of workpiece material, producing a flat bottom for a flat-head screw to fit flush with the surface. The six-flute geometry on Countersinks expands the range of workpiece materials including high-temp exotic alloys, steel, cast iron, non-ferrous under its portfolio. The tool is exclusively designed for general-purpose countersinking, chamfering, or deburring. It is highly efficient in hole-making as the multi-flute geometry aids in chatter-free operations. The selection of the right countersink angle depends on the application and works well with low cutting speed. M.A. Ford offers 6-flute countersinks in standard sizes of included angles 60°, 82°, 90°, 100°, 120° to fit most head screws. The tool is offered in varying tool lengths of 1-1/2 inches up to 3-1/2 inches. M.A. Ford has developed an enviable global reputation in tooling design and manufacturing over the last 100 years. The company is well-known for its performance and precision in advanced solid carbide tooling, serving over 60 countries worldwide. The innovative cutting geometries, materials, and coating technologies provide effective manufacturing solutions to a diverse range of industries from agriculture and construction to aerospace, power generation, and automotive.
