Value Collection SC2060024 Countersink 60 Deg 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC2060024 is a single-end, 6-flute countersink designed for right-hand cutting in metalworking and light fabrication applications. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 60-degree included angle and a straight-cylindrical shank measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 1 inch in length. The 0.375-inch head diameter produces clean, consistent countersunk seats for flathead fasteners. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision fabricators use this style of countersink in manual and CNC drill press or milling operations where accurate fastener seating is required.

This countersink is suited for countersinking operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals at standard 60-degree fastener seating angles. The 6-flute geometry distributes cutting load evenly, reducing chatter and improving finish quality in production drilling setups. It is sold as a single unit and fits standard drill chucks and collets that accept a 0.25-inch straight shank. Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, fixture building, and general machine shop work where 60-degree countersunk holes are required for socket-head or flathead cap screws.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose countersink for use in drill presses, milling machines, and hand drills equipped with a standard 0.25-inch straight-shank chuck or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabrication technician familiar with cutting tool safety. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet and verify runout before operating at speed. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant as dictated by the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole quality.
