Manufactured from cobalt steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers heat and wear resistance suited to tough ferrous materials. The counterbore has a 0.304-inch cutting diameter and an oversize pilot diameter of 0.195 inches, which guides the tool concentrically with a pre-drilled hole. With 3 flutes and a forward cutting direction, it produces smooth, consistent finishes in production and maintenance machining environments. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.25 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 3 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis counterbore is sized specifically for number 8 socket-head cap screws and is suited to both job-shop and production machining applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use tools of this type when precision screw seating is required in metal fabrication, fixture building, and mechanical assembly. The oversize pilot design provides added guidance stability, reducing runout and helping maintain positional accuracy during the counterboring operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.304-inch counterbore diameter sized for number 8 socket-head cap screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOversize pilot at 0.195 inches for improved concentricity and reduced runout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt steel construction for heat resistance in harder ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute geometry for smooth surface finish and efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical 0.25-inch shank fits standard drill press and milling machine chuck configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish  -  ready to use without additional surface treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with number 8 socket-head cap screws.

Secure the shank firmly in a matching chuck or collet before operation and verify the pilot fits freely in the pilot hole without excessive play. Always bring the spindle to a full stop before changing tooling or adjusting workpiece position. Follow your machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed selection based on workpiece material hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCounterbore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.304 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.195 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oversize\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket-Head Cap Screw, Number 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241603\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: KEO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 902-000-012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KEO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974086230322,"sku":"902-000-012","price":75.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6f90c2ea6cb47f73f9b2cad7db49f4f1.jpg?v=1789975783","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/keo-902-000-012-solid-pilot-counterbore-0-304-in-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
