M.a. Ford. 60025004 Countersink 100 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 60025004 is a single-flute solid carbide countersink designed for precision chamfering and countersinking operations in a wide range of materials. Built with a 100-degree included angle and a bright uncoated finish, this tool delivers clean, accurate results without the added friction of a coating. The 1/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chuck sizes, and the 2-inch overall length provides solid reach while keeping the tool rigid under cutting loads. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and CNC spindle use. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this style of countersink for high-repeatability deburring and fastener seat prep.

This countersink is suited for both manual machine shop setups and CNC applications requiring a consistent 100-degree chamfer. It performs across a broad material range including alloy steel, mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high-tensile steel, high-nickel steel, Monel, aluminum, brass, magnesium, magnesium alloy, and plastic. The single-flute geometry reduces chatter on softer materials and non-ferrous metals, making it a practical general-purpose choice across job shop and production environments alike.

Key Features

• 100-degree included angle for standard fastener seat and chamfer geometry
• Single-flute design minimizes chatter and produces a smooth finish
• Solid carbide construction offers superior hardness and wear resistance versus HSS alternatives
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a wide material range
• 1/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard collets and drill chucks
• Right-hand cutting direction for use in conventional CNC and manual spindle setups

Compatibility

Compatible with alloy steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, mild steel, Monel, plastic, and stainless steel workpieces. Fits any spindle or chuck accepting a 1/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Secure the shank fully in the collet or drill chuck before operation and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous and exotic alloys to extend tool life. Inspect the single cutting edge for chipping before each use, as carbide tools can fracture if run with damaged geometry.
