Hertel 334-010050 Carbide Countersink 1 in 60 Deg 4 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 334-010050 is a solid carbide countersink designed for producing clean, accurate countersunk holes in metal and other hard materials. With a 1-inch head diameter and a 60-degree included angle, it is suited for creating seat profiles that accept flat-head fasteners. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter, providing secure, concentric clamping in standard drill chucks or collet holders. Four cutting flutes deliver smooth chip evacuation and a consistent finish on the countersink seat. This tool is commonly used by machinists and metalworking professionals in production and maintenance environments.

This countersink is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill press setups where precise fastener seat preparation is required. The 60-degree angle is standard for many aerospace and general-purpose flat-head screw applications. It is suitable for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where carbide tooling is selected for extended tool life and heat resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives.

Key Features

• 1-inch head diameter for larger-diameter countersink applications
• 60-degree included angle matches standard flat-head fastener specifications
• 4-flute geometry promotes smooth cutting and chip removal
• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard collets and chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill chucks, collet holders, and tool holders accepting a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for general-purpose countersinking operations on metal workpieces requiring a 60-degree seat angle.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Set spindle speed appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter per standard carbide tooling guidelines. Secure the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended engagement depth before operation.
