Value Collection SC1060048 Countersink 60 Degree Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC1060048 is a single-flute countersink designed for creating conical seat holes prior to fastener installation. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 60-degree included angle (30-degree centerline angle) is suited for applications requiring a standard countersink profile. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter, providing secure tool-holder engagement in drill presses and hand drills. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworkers handling light to medium production tasks will find this a practical single-end countersink option.

This countersink is intended for countersinking operations in metal fabrication, sheet metal work, and general machining environments. The 0.75-inch head diameter and single-flute geometry make it well suited for producing clean, chatter-reduced countersink seats. It does not include a pilot and is configured as a single-end tool, making it appropriate for use in standard drill press or hand-drill setups where consistent angle and seat quality are required. Typical applications include preparing holes for flat-head machine screws and similar fasteners requiring a 60-degree conical seat.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle produces a standard conical countersink profile
• Single-flute design reduces chatter and provides a cleaner finish in many materials
• High-speed steel construction offers good wear resistance for general-purpose use
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use across a range of workpiece materials
• 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• No pilot included, allowing free use across varying hole diameters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose countersink for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills accepting a 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically installed and operated by machinists or fabricators using standard drill press or hand-drill equipment. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation, and ensure the workpiece is clamped to prevent movement. Set spindle speed appropriate to the workpiece material and tool diameter to avoid overheating the HSS cutting edge. Do not force the tool or exceed recommended feed rates, as single-flute countersinks can be sensitive to side loading.
