Hertel 333-002060 Carbide Countersink 3/16 Inch 82 Degree

Product Description

The HERTEL 333-002060 is a solid carbide countersink designed for creating precise conical recesses in metal and other hard materials. With an 82-degree included angle and 3 flutes, this tool produces clean, accurate countersinks suitable for flat-head fastener seating in production and maintenance environments. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 3/16 inches in diameter, matching the 3/16 inch head diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. The bright, uncoated carbide construction offers rigidity and wear resistance. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics use this countersink for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece applications where tight angular tolerances are required.

This countersink is suited for light-duty countersinking operations on flat-head screw and bolt applications requiring an 82-degree seat. Its compact 3/16 inch head diameter makes it appropriate for small-diameter fastener locations where clearance is limited. The single-end, no-pilot design gives the operator direct control over placement and depth, commonly used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held pneumatic or electric drills in shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 82-degree included angle for standard flat-head fastener countersink seating
• 3-flute geometry for improved chip evacuation and surface finish
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life on hard materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose cutting applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks and collets
• Single-end, no-pilot design for direct operator control over positioning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 82-degree countersink replacement for use with flat-head fastener applications requiring a 3/16 inch head diameter tool in drill chucks or collet holders accepting a 3/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter. Never exceed the tool's rated cutting parameters, and inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use. Eye protection and appropriate workholding are required per standard shop safety practices.
