Value Collection 08902223 Counterbore Pilot Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08902223 is a counterbore pilot used to guide counterboring tools during precision drilling operations. The pilot features an 11/32 inch head diameter and a 1/8 inch shank diameter, making it suited for accurate alignment when creating flat-bottomed recesses for socket head cap screws and similar fasteners. Constructed from carbon steel with a bright uncoated finish, this pilot provides the rigidity needed for consistent results in metalworking and machining applications. It is typically installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance tradespeople working with drill presses, milling machines, or hand-held power tools.

This counterbore pilot is appropriate for use in general metalworking, light fabrication, and maintenance repair operations where counterbored holes are required in steel, aluminum, or similar materials. The 1/8 inch shank seats into a compatible counterbore body to maintain centerline alignment during the cutting operation, reducing wander and improving hole-to-hole consistency. It is well suited for both production environments and single-piece repair work where accurate fastener seating is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotary cutting tools. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in the holder before inserting or removing the pilot. Confirm the pilot shank seats fully and is locked per the counterbore manufacturer instructions before beginning the cut. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate eye protection when operating any rotary cutting equipment.
