Scientific Cutting Tools AND10050-6S Porting Tool

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS AND10050-6S is a porting tool designed for precision spotfacing operations on tube fittings and hydraulic or pneumatic port faces. It produces a clean, flat seating surface with a 1.012-inch spotface diameter, conforming to AND 10050 standards. The plain pilot type centers the tool accurately in the port bore with a minimum pilot diameter of 0.504 inches and a maximum of 0.5825 inches, ensuring consistent results. With 4 straight flutes and a bright finish, it removes material efficiently without chatter. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and aerospace or fluid-power tradespeople typically install or service fittings requiring this type of face preparation.

This porting tool is suited for spotfacing tube-end port seats on hydraulic, pneumatic, or fuel system tubing with a 3/8-inch outside diameter, corresponding to tube dash number 6. The 30-degree seal angle and UNF thread type make it compatible with standard AN and MS tube fitting configurations. It is used in MRO, production machining, and field repair environments where a properly faced port seat is required for leak-free fitting installation. The overall length of 3.25 inches and 0.5-inch shank diameter are compatible with standard drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held porting tool drivers.

Key Features

• 30-degree seal angle and UNF thread type for AN and MS fitting compatibility
• 4 straight flutes with bright finish for clean, efficient material removal
• 0.5-inch shank diameter fits standard porting tool drivers, drill presses, and milling machine chucks
• 3.25-inch overall length provides reach for recessed or panel-mounted port locations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing, tube dash number 6, conforming to AND 10050 standard port configurations. Workpiece compatibility is listed as tubes.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically operated by a machinist or qualified fluid-power technician. De-energize and depressurize the system fully before beginning any port facing operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying the porting tool to prevent movement that could damage the seating surface. Follow applicable aerospace, hydraulic, or pneumatic system maintenance standards when reconditioning port faces on active equipment.
