Value Collection SC2060032 Countersink 60 Deg 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC2060032 is a single-end, 6-flute countersink designed for creating clean, accurate 60-degree countersunk holes in metal and other machinable materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this tool runs on manual or CNC drilling equipment and is a standard choice for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and fabricators. The 1/2-inch head diameter and 1/4-inch straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. It cuts in the right-hand direction and does not include a pilot, giving the operator full control over hole positioning.

This countersink is suited for light to medium countersinking operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. The 60-degree included angle is commonly specified for socket head cap screw clearance holes and certain aerospace and precision machining applications where a shallower countersink profile is required. It is appropriate for use in both shop and field fabrication environments where a straight-shank, unchucked setup is practical.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle with a 30-degree centerline angle for precise countersinking geometry
• 6-flute design reduces chatter and produces a smoother surface finish compared to fewer-flute tools
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• 1/4-inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems
• No pilot required — suits applications where free-hand or fixture-guided positioning is used

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank countersink for use with drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills equipped with a 1/4-inch or larger chuck or collet holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fabricators using standard drill press or CNC equipment. Secure the shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before operation and verify the work piece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel workpieces to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the tool if chipping or wear is evident.
