M.a. Ford. 78025001 Solid Carbide Countersink 60 Degree

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 78025001 is a solid carbide countersink designed for precision chamfering, countersinking, and deburring across a wide range of materials. It features a 60-degree included angle and 6 flutes, delivering clean, consistent cuts in demanding shop and production environments. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/4 inch in diameter with an overall length of 2 inches. Solid carbide construction provides superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel tooling. This tool is suited for machinists, toolroom technicians, and fabricators working on metal, plastic, and composite components requiring precise countersunk seat geometry.

This countersink is built for use on a broad range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, mild steel, high-tensile steel, high-nickel steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, magnesium, magnesium alloy, Monel, and plastic. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC drilling setups where accurate countersink angles are required. The single-end, no-pilot design gives the operator direct control over positioning, making it a practical choice for job shop work, aerospace prep, and general metalworking applications.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard countersink and chamfer geometry
• 6-flute design reduces chatter and improves surface finish quality
• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 1/4 inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional drill press and CNC spindle rotation
• No-pilot, single-end configuration for versatile manual and machine tool use

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/4 inch collet chucks, keyless drill chucks, and compatible CNC tool holders. Suitable for chamfering and countersinking operations 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

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operating to prevent runout. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is properly seated before beginning any cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and shop safety guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
