Value Collection SC2060048 60 Deg 6 Flute Hss Countersink

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC2060048 is a single-end, 6-flute countersink designed for right-hand cutting in metalworking and fabrication applications. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool features a 60-degree included angle and a straight-cylindrical shank measuring 0.5 inches in diameter. The shank length is 1.3125 inches and the head diameter is 0.75 inches. No pilot is included, making it compatible with standard drill press and hand-drill setups where the operator guides the tool directly into the pre-drilled hole. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this countersink for creating clean, angled seat profiles ahead of flat-head fastener installation.

This countersink is suited for general-purpose countersinking operations on metal workpieces in shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. The 60-degree included angle is commonly specified for socket-head and flat-head fastener applications where a precise angular seat is required. The 6-flute geometry promotes smoother cutting action and reduces chatter compared to lower-flute-count designs, making it a practical choice for production runs or repetitive manual work. It is sized for use in standard drill chucks and milling machine spindles that accept a 0.5-inch straight shank.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for flat-head and countersunk fastener seat preparation
• 6-flute design reduces chatter and produces a cleaner finish on the countersink surface
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across common metalworking materials
• Bright uncoated finish for straightforward inspection and general-purpose use
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and milling spindles
• Single-end design with no pilot — operator-guided for versatile application

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style countersink for use in drill presses, milling machines, and hand drills accepting a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill press or milling machine setups. Always secure the workpiece firmly before operation and confirm the spindle and chuck are in good working order before engaging the tool. Since no pilot is included, pre-drill a clearance hole to the appropriate diameter before countersinking to ensure accurate seat alignment. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA general industry standards when operating rotary cutting tools.
