Value Collection 08902181 Counterbore Pilot 9/32 in Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08902181 is a counterbore pilot used to guide counterboring tools during precision hole finishing operations. The pilot features a 9/32 inch head diameter and a 1/8 inch shank diameter, making it suited for light-duty counterboring tasks in metal fabrication and general machining environments. Constructed from carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pilot delivers adequate hardness and dimensional stability for standard shop conditions. It is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians performing countersink or counterbore operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

This counterbore pilot is appropriate for use in manual drill presses, milling machines, and hand-operated counterboring setups where a 1/8 inch shank is the required fit. It is well suited for light production runs, maintenance repair, and prototype work where accurate seat depth and concentricity are required. The bright finish makes it easy to inspect for wear or damage between uses.

Key Features

• 9/32 inch head diameter for precise counterbore seat alignment
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard counterbore tool holders
• Carbon steel construction provides solid rigidity for general machining
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of tool condition
• Compact, single-piece pilot design for straightforward tool changes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or spare counterbore pilot for use with counterboring tools requiring a 1/8 inch shank and 9/32 inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Counterbore pilots are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians and should be seated fully and securely in the counterbore tool body before operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is disconnected before changing or inspecting pilots. Inspect the pilot for wear, scoring, or runout before each use to avoid damage to the workpiece or the counterboring tool.
