Value Collection 08909822 Counterbore Pilot Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08909822 is a counterbore pilot used to guide counterboring tools during machining operations. It features a 1.5-inch head diameter and a 0.5-inch shank diameter, sized for standard counterbore setups in metal fabrication and maintenance machining work. Constructed from carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pilot provides reliable rigidity and dimensional accuracy during the counterboring process. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals typically use this style of pilot to ensure concentricity when enlarging existing bored holes or creating flat-bottom recesses for fastener seating.

This counterbore pilot is suited for use in metal shop environments, production machining, and general maintenance repair operations. It is appropriate for bench-top drill press work, vertical milling applications, and hand-held power tool setups where a guided counterboring operation is required. The 0.5-inch shank fits standard counterbore bodies designed for that shank size, making it a direct-use replacement or additional pilot for existing counterbore sets in the shop.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch head diameter sized for counterbore pilots in that range
• 0.5-inch shank diameter fits compatible counterbore body holders
• Carbon steel construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in metal machining applications
• Bright, uncoated finish for straightforward dimensional inspection and fitment verification
• Compact, single-piece design requires no assembly before use

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental pilot for counterbore tool bodies accepting a 0.5-inch shank diameter pilot. Confirm shank and head diameter requirements of your specific counterbore body before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician familiar with counterboring operations. Secure the pilot into the counterbore body according to the tool body manufacturer's instructions before beginning any cutting operation. Always ensure the workpiece is properly clamped and the spindle is at a full stop before inserting or removing the pilot. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and wear appropriate personal protective equipment during all machining operations.
