Value Collection 08905267 Counterbore Pilot Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08905267 is a counterbore pilot used to guide and center counterbore cutting tools during machining operations. The pilot features a 13/32 inch head diameter and a 1/4 inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard counterbore tool sets that require precise alignment. Constructed from carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pilot is suited for general-purpose metalworking and woodworking applications. It is typically used by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals who need repeatable, accurate counterbore results.

Counterbore pilots are used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where fastener seats must be precisely cut to accept socket head cap screws or similar fasteners. This pilot is appropriate for benchtop drill press work as well as manual milling operations where a guided counterbore is required. The 1/4 inch shank seats securely in standard counterbore tool holders.

Key Features

• 13/32 inch head diameter for accurate counterbore alignment
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard counterbore tool holders
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for general-purpose use
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to affect dimensional tolerances
• Lightweight at 0.058 pounds for easy handling and tool changes

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare counterbore pilot for standard counterbore tool sets requiring a 1/4 inch shank and 13/32 inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with counterbore tooling. Secure the pilot firmly in the counterbore body before beginning any cutting operation and ensure the workpiece is clamped to prevent movement. Power down the drill press or milling machine before changing or seating the pilot. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when operating rotating cutting tools.
