Value Collection 5/16 Body 3/32 Counterbore Pilot Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5/16 BODY 3/32 is a counterbore pilot tool used to guide counterbore cutters during precision drilling operations. Machined from carbon steel with a bright uncoated finish, this pilot features a 5/16 inch head diameter and a 3/32 inch shank diameter. It is designed to maintain accurate hole alignment when creating flat-bottomed recesses for socket head cap screws and similar fasteners. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance tradespeople rely on counterbore pilots to ensure clean, concentric cuts in metal fabrication and repair work.

This counterbore pilot is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where precision counterboring is required. It pairs with counterbore cutter sets to produce properly sized recesses in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for general-purpose shop use where additional surface treatment is not required. Sold individually, it serves as a direct replacement or supplemental pilot for standard counterbore kits.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch head diameter for accurate counterbore alignment
• 3/32 inch shank diameter for secure seating in compatible counterbore holders
• Carbon steel construction for reliable hardness and durability in general machining applications
• Bright uncoated finish for standard shop use
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or kit supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental pilot for standard counterbore cutter sets accepting a 3/32 inch shank and 5/16 inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this counterbore pilot should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press and milling machine operation. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before changing pilots or cutters. Verify that the pilot shank seats fully and securely in the counterbore body before initiating any cutting operation to prevent misalignment or tool damage.
