M.a. Ford. 60012504 Countersink 100 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 60012504 is a single-flute solid carbide countersink designed for precise chamfering and countersinking operations in metalworking and fabrication applications. Built with a 100-degree included angle and a 1/8-inch shank diameter, this tool produces clean, accurate countersink profiles in a wide range of materials. The bright, uncoated finish makes it suitable for use across ferrous and non-ferrous materials alike. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a straight-cylindrical shank, it mounts directly into standard collet chucks and drill press setups. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision fabricators install this type of tooling in both manual and CNC applications.

This countersink is appropriate for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and production environments handling alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, mild steel, aluminum, brass, magnesium alloy, high-tensile steel, high-nickel steel, Monel, plastic, and magnesium. Its single-flute geometry reduces chatter during operation, making it a reliable choice for controlled hand-feed and power-feed countersinking tasks. It is sold as an individual unit with no pilot included.

Key Features

• 100-degree included angle for standard fastener seat preparation
• Single-flute design reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance across hard materials
• 1/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets and chucks
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• Compact 1.5-inch overall length suits tight-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-flute countersink for use in standard 1/8-inch collet chucks, drill presses, and CNC spindles requiring a 100-degree countersink profile.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and precision fabricators in drill press, milling machine, or CNC setups using a collet or chuck sized for a 1/8-inch shank. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing or seating the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain surface quality. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use.
