Value Collection 28608 Countersink 1 in Hss 82 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 28608 is a single-flute countersink designed for creating angled seat recesses in metal, wood, and composite materials. Manufactured from high speed steel, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of workpiece materials. It features a 1 inch head diameter and an 82 degree included angle, making it suited for flathead fastener seating applications where a precise chamfer is required. The 0.5 inch shank diameter provides solid tool holder retention in standard drill chucks and collet systems. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and general fabricators routinely use this type of countersink in production and maintenance environments.

This countersink is appropriate for light to medium-duty countersinking operations in both shop and field settings. The single-flute geometry reduces chatter on softer materials and produces a clean, smooth finish at the chamfer. The 82 degree angle matches the seating geometry of flat-head screws commonly specified in sheet metal and light structural assemblies. It fits standard drill press, CNC, or handheld power tool setups where a 0.5 inch shank is accepted.

Key Features

• 1 inch head diameter for full-seat countersinking of standard flathead fasteners
• 82 degree included angle matches common flat-head screw seating geometry
• Single-flute design minimizes chatter on softer materials
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across general-purpose cutting applications
• 0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard drill chucks and collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose countersink for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power tools accepting a 0.5 inch shank. Suited for countersinking operations in metal, wood, and composite workpieces requiring an 82 degree seat angle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fabricators using a drill press, milling machine, or power drill with appropriate chuck or collet. Secure the shank fully in the tool holder before operation and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter. Inspect the cutting flute for wear or chipping before each use. Do not exceed the tool's rated cutting capacity or apply side-loading forces that could cause tool breakage.
