M.a. Ford 60037503C 90 Degree Carbide Countersink

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 60037503C is a single-flute solid carbide countersink designed for precise chamfering, countersinking, and deburring in a wide range of metalworking and fabrication applications. Built with a 90-degree included angle and coated in titanium carbonitride (TiCN), this tool delivers extended wear resistance and reduced friction at the cutting edge. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 1/4 inch in diameter, and the tool runs 2 inches in overall length. Right-hand cutting geometry makes it compatible with standard CNC and manual spindle setups. Installation and use are handled by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This countersink is suited for single-end countersinking operations in both manual and CNC machining environments. It handles a minimum cutting diameter of 1/16 inch and a maximum cutting diameter of 21/64 inch, covering a practical range for fastener seat preparation and edge chamfering. The 3/8-inch head diameter and TiCN coating make it a practical choice for production runs and maintenance shops working with tight tolerances and varied stock materials.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard fastener countersink geometry
• Single-flute design for clean chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance
• TiCN coating extends tool life across abrasive and hard materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional spindle rotation

Compatibility

Rated for use on alloy steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, mild steel, Monel, plastic, and stainless steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists using standard collet chucks or drill chuck systems sized for a 1/4-inch shank. Verify spindle speed and feed rate against tooling manufacturer recommendations for the specific workpiece material before use. Secure the shank fully in the holder to the recommended grip depth to prevent runout. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use, as carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to interrupted cuts or excessive side loading without confirming suitability.
