M.a. Ford 78050002 Countersink 82 Degree 6 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 78050002 is a solid carbide countersink designed for precision chamfering, countersinking, and deburring operations across a wide range of materials. It features a 82-degree included angle and 6 flutes for smooth, accurate cutting in production and maintenance environments. The 3/8-inch straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill press and CNC toolholding systems. With a bright uncoated finish and an overall length of 2.25 inches, this tool is well-suited for machinists and fabricators who need consistent results on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 0.15-inch tip diameter supports controlled entry at the start of each cut.

This countersink is intended for use on alloy steel, mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high-nickel steel, high-tensile steel, aluminum, brass, magnesium, magnesium alloy, Monel, and plastic. It fits both manual drill press setups and CNC machining centers. Typical applications include countersinking holes for flat-head fasteners, chamfering hole edges to remove burrs, and preparing mating surfaces for assembly. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional clockwise spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 82-degree included angle for standard flat-head fastener countersinking
• 6-flute geometry for smooth surface finish and reduced chatter
• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life on hard and abrasive materials
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of material applications
• 3/8-inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders without adapters
• Single end, no pilot — suitable for use with existing pilot holes or freehand entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-end countersink compatible with standard 3/8-inch straight shank toolholding systems used in drill press, CNC milling, and hand-held drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the shank fully in the toolholder collet or chuck before starting the spindle. Set spindle speed appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use and remove the tool from service if edge damage is present.
