Value Collection 08904245 Counterbore Pilot Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08904245 is a counterbore pilot used to guide counterboring tools during precision machining and metalworking operations. With a 3/8 inch head diameter and a 3/16 inch shank diameter, this pilot fits into the spindle or counterbore body to maintain concentricity during cutting. It is constructed from carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Machinists and maintenance technicians use this type of pilot when boring out fastener clearance seats in metal workpieces. The part ships individually and is suited for light-duty shop and field maintenance applications.

This counterbore pilot is appropriate for use in manual milling, drill press operations, and handheld counterboring tasks where accurate hole alignment is required. It is a standard accessory component for counterbore sets used in metalworking, mechanical assembly, and general fabrication environments. The 3/16 inch shank fits counterbore holders designed for that shank diameter, and the 3/8 inch head pilots the corresponding counterbore cutter size.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch head diameter sized to pilot standard counterbore cutters
• 3/16 inch shank diameter for secure tool holder engagement
• Carbon steel construction for durability in general metalworking applications
• Bright, uncoated finish for dimensional consistency without coating buildup
• Sold individually for single-piece replacement or set completion

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or accessory counterbore pilot for counterboring tools accepting a 3/16 inch shank and a 3/8 inch head diameter. Verify shank and head diameter requirements against your existing counterbore body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with counterboring operations. Ensure the drill press or milling machine is fully powered down and the spindle is stationary before seating or removing the pilot. Secure the shank firmly within the counterbore holder to prevent runout during operation. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection when operating counterboring equipment.
