M.a. Ford. 60075003 Countersink 90 Degree 1 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 60075003 is a single-flute solid carbide countersink designed for producing clean, accurate 90-degree countersunk holes in a wide range of workpiece materials. The tool features a 3/4-inch head diameter, a 1/2-inch straight cylindrical shank, and a 3-inch overall length. The bright/uncoated finish suits general-purpose countersinking where coating is not required. With a tip diameter of 0.120 inches and a 45-degree centerline angle, this countersink delivers consistent seating geometry for flat-head fasteners. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select this type of single-flute design when chatter reduction and smooth finish quality are the priority.

This countersink is suited for use on CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. The single-flute geometry performs well in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including alloy steel, mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high-tensile steel, high-nickel steel, Monel, aluminum, brass, magnesium, magnesium alloy, and plastic. It is a right-hand cutting tool and requires right-hand spindle rotation. No pilot is included.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard flat-head fastener countersinking
• Single-flute solid carbide construction for reduced chatter and smooth surface finish
• 3/4-inch head diameter with 0.120-inch tip diameter for consistent entry geometry
• 1/2-inch straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard tool holders and chucks
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for countersinking operations across alloy steel, mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high-tensile steel, high-nickel steel, Monel, aluminum, brass, magnesium, magnesium alloy, and plastic workpieces. Accepts standard 1/2-inch tool holders and drill chucks.

Installation Notes

Installed by machinists in milling machines, drill presses, or CNC machining centers using a standard 1/2-inch collet, end mill holder, or drill chuck. Secure the shank fully within the holder and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication based on workpiece material to extend tool life. Follow shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection when operating rotating cutting tools.
