Value Collection SC2082040 Countersink 82 Deg 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC2082040 is a single-end, 6-flute countersink designed for right-hand cutting in metal, wood, and composite materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent performance in standard countersinking applications. The tool features an 82-degree included angle — the most common angle for flat-head fastener seating in inch-standard work — and a straight-cylindrical shank for reliable chuck holding. At 0.06 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight tool suited for bench drill press and hand drill use by machinists, fabricators, and general tradespeople.

This countersink is intended for production and maintenance countersinking where a clean, uniform seat is required for flat-head screws and bolts. The 82-degree included angle matches the standard for inch-series flat-head fasteners used in metalworking, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical assembly. The 5/8-inch head diameter accommodates a range of common fastener sizes, and the 1/2-inch straight shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter.

Key Features

• 82-degree included angle — standard for inch-series flat-head fastener seating
• 6-flute design for smooth cutting action and reduced chatter
• High-speed steel construction for durability across metal and composite substrates
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for general-purpose countersinking without coating wear concerns
• 1/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks
• Single-end tool with no pilot — allows use across varied hole diameters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose countersink for use in standard 1/2-inch straight-shank drill chucks on bench drill presses and hand drills; suited for inch-series flat-head fastener applications requiring an 82-degree seat angle.

Installation Notes

Countersinks are installed and used by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals working with drill presses or hand-held power drills. Secure the 1/2-inch shank firmly in the chuck before operation and ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when countersinking ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the tool if chipping or dulling is observed.
