M.a. Ford 60037502 Countersink 82 Degree 1 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 60037502 is a single-flute solid carbide countersink designed for precision deburring and chamfering in metalworking and machining applications. It features an 82-degree included angle, a 3/8-inch head diameter, and a 1/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank with an overall length of 2 inches. The bright/uncoated finish suits a broad range of materials without the need for coating-specific handling. A tip diameter of 0.060 inches allows controlled entry at the start of the cut. This tool is installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and fabricators working on precision hole prep.

This countersink is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where a clean 82-degree chamfer is required. The single-flute geometry reduces chatter and produces a smooth finish in a wide variety of workpiece materials. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual milling setups. No pilot is included, so it operates as a standard straight-shank countersink without centering assistance.

Key Features

• 82-degree included angle for standard fastener seat preparation
• Single-flute design reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• 3/8-inch head diameter with 0.060-inch tip for precise entry
• 1/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank for common collet and chuck compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance

Compatibility

Rated for use in alloy steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, mild steel, Monel, plastic, and stainless steel. Fits any machine spindle or chuck accepting a 1/4-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This countersink is installed by machinists and fabricators using standard drill press, lathe, or CNC setups. Secure the 1/4-inch shank firmly in an appropriately sized collet or drill chuck before operation. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing or inspecting the tool. Follow shop-specific feeds and speeds for the workpiece material to avoid tool deflection or workpiece damage.
