M.a. Ford. 79800002 Countersink Set 8 Pc 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 79800002 is an 8-piece countersink set designed for producing clean, accurately angled seating holes in metal and other materials. Each tool in the set features 6 flutes and an 82-degree included angle, making them suited for standard flat-head fastener applications. The tools are manufactured from high speed steel with a bright polished finish, providing adequate hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose countersinking operations. The set covers a head diameter range from 1/8 inch up to 1 inch, giving technicians and machinists a broad selection in a single kit. All cutters use a straight shank and cut in the right-hand direction.

This countersink set is appropriate for metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance environments where flat-head screws and fasteners must sit flush with a workpiece surface. The 82-degree angle corresponds to the most common flat-head machine screw standard used in North American manufacturing and MRO applications. The set is stored in a plastic case for organized access in the shop or field. It is typically used by machinists, maintenance technicians, sheet metal workers, and skilled tradespeople performing precision fastener prep work.

Installation Notes

Countersinks should be installed in a drill press, milling machine, or hand drill with a chuck rated for straight-shank tooling. Secure the shank firmly before operation and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material being cut. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before engaging the cutter. Inspect cutting edges before each use and replace worn tools to maintain hole quality.
