M.a. Ford 67112501 Countersink 60 Deg Hss Right Hand

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 67112501 is a single-end, zero-flute countersink designed for chamfering, countersinking, and deburring operations in a wide range of materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 60-degree included angle and a 1.125-inch head diameter for consistent, clean entry geometry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter, and the tool carries an overall length of 2.875 inches. This countersink is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machines, and manual lathes. It is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance technicians working in metalworking and fabrication environments.

This countersink performs across a broad spectrum of materials including alloy steel, mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, magnesium alloy, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, Monel, and plastic. The zero-flute design produces a smooth chamfer surface with minimal chatter, making it well suited for both production runs and general-purpose hole preparation. Its single-end configuration keeps setup straightforward in either a fixed spindle or hand-held driver application.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle with 30-degree centerline angle for standard chamfer geometry
• Zero-flute design reduces chatter and delivers a burnished, smooth chamfer finish
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright, uncoated finish allows visual wear inspection during service
• Straight-cylindrical 0.5-inch shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• No pilot required - single-end configuration simplifies setup

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill press chucks, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes accepting a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for chamfering, countersinking, and deburring applications across alloy steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, magnesium alloy, mild steel, Monel, plastic, and stainless steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout with a dial indicator if tight tolerances are required. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or adjusting the countersink. Operate at speeds and feeds appropriate for the workpiece material to avoid heat buildup, which can reduce tool life on high-speed steel tooling.
