M.a. Ford 60075004 Countersink 100 Degree 1 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 60075004 is a single-flute solid carbide countersink designed for precise chamfering and countersinking operations in a wide range of materials. Built with a 100-degree included angle and a 3/4-inch head diameter, this tool delivers clean, accurate seat geometry for flathead fasteners and deburring applications. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/2 inch in diameter and the tool runs 3 inches in overall length. The bright/uncoated finish is suited for general-purpose machining where coating is not required. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this tool in production and maintenance environments.

This countersink is appropriate for use in manual mills, CNC machining centers, and drill press setups across both light and heavy manufacturing. The 100-degree included angle is commonly specified for aerospace and general industrial fastener seat preparation. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, mild steel, Monel, plastic, and stainless steel. It does not include a pilot and is sold as a head-and-shank unit with no separate pilot required.

Key Features

• 100-degree included angle for standard fastener seat preparation
• Single-flute geometry for smooth cutting and chip clearance
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 3/4-inch head diameter with 1/2-inch straight cylindrical shank
• Bright/uncoated finish for general-purpose machining applications
• No pilot required - single end type, ready to run

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/2-inch collets and tool holders on manual mills, CNC machining centers, and drill presses. Suitable for countersinking operations across alloy steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, mild steel, Monel, plastic, and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists in mill or drill press setups. Secure the 1/2-inch shank fully in a matched collet or tool holder before operation and verify runout before cutting. Always follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine-specific feed and speed guidelines for the workpiece material. Do not exceed the tool's rated application range for hardness or material type.
