Value Collection 08901126 Counterbore Pilot Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08901126 is a counterbore pilot used to guide counterbore cutters during precision drilling and boring operations. The pilot features a 3/16 inch head diameter and a 3/32 inch shank diameter, providing accurate alignment when seating fastener heads or bearings below a workpiece surface. Constructed from carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pilot delivers reliable rigidity for repetitive use in light machining, fabrication, and assembly work. It is a standard single-piece tool suited for bench-top drill presses and hand-held power tools.

Counterbore pilots are commonly used in metalworking, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and mechanical maintenance applications where a fastener head must sit flush or recessed within a workpiece. This pilot is appropriate for use in both shop environments and field service scenarios where precise hole preparation is required before fastener installation. The compact shank size makes it compatible with standard drill chucks and counterbore sets designed for small-diameter work.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch head diameter for accurate counterbore alignment
• 3/32 inch shank diameter fits standard small-bore drill chucks and counterbore tool holders
• Carbon steel construction provides rigidity for repetitive light-duty machining
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection for wear
• Single-piece design with no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or spare pilot for counterbore sets and tooling systems requiring a 3/32 inch shank diameter and 3/16 inch head diameter pilot.

Installation Notes

Installation of counterbore pilots is typically performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians. Before installing or changing the pilot, ensure the drill press or power tool is fully powered down and the chuck is stationary. Secure the pilot firmly in the counterbore tool body according to the counterbore manufacturer instructions before beginning any drilling operation. Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation.
