M.a. Ford 78025006 Carbide Countersink 120 Deg 6 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 78025006 is a solid carbide countersink designed for chamfering, countersinking, and deburring operations across a wide range of materials. Built with a 120-degree included angle and six flutes, it delivers clean, consistent entry angles in both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.25 inches in diameter, and the tool runs an overall length of 2 inches. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard CNC spindles and hand-held drill equipment. The single-end configuration keeps setup simple, and the solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for production and job-shop environments.

This countersink is suited for metalworking, fabrication, and machining applications where precise chamfer geometry and burr removal are required. It performs in both manual and CNC-driven setups. The 120-degree angle is a common standard for fastener seating, edge preparation, and deburring on alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, magnesium alloy, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, mild steel, Monel, and plastic substrates. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and fabricators working across light and heavy manufacturing will find this tool fits standard toolholders without modification.

Key Features

• 120-degree included angle for standard fastener countersinking and chamfer prep
• Six-flute design for smooth cutting action and improved surface finish
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 0.25-inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets and chucks
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional spindle rotation
• No pilot required — single-end, pilot-free configuration simplifies setup

Compatibility

Designed 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. Fits any standard toolholder or collet accepting a 0.25-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate spindle speeds and feeds for the workpiece material — carbide tools are sensitive to improper feed rates that can cause chipping. Always wear eye protection when operating rotary cutting tools. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
