Countersink, 1 FL, 100 Deg, 1/8, TiAlN

Description
A precision single-flute countersink designed for high performance in diverse materials. This countersink offers clean chamfering and deburring with improved wear resistance and longevity thanks to its titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating.

Key Specifications & Features

Benefits & Use Cases

• Versatile Across Materials
  Effective for chamfering or countersinking in steel, aluminum, cast iron, titanium, wood, and plastics — making it useful in general machining and finishing tasks.
• High Wear Resistance
  The TiAlN coating adds oxidation resistance and extended tool life under high heat or abrasive conditions.
• Single-Flute Efficiency
  Offers a clean surface finish with minimal chatter. The design helps evacuate chips effectively in soft materials.
• Compact & Precise
  Small diameter and short length make it ideal for tight or restricted worksites or precision parts.

Usage & Best Practices

1. Use Appropriate Speeds & Feeds
   Moderate speeds with light feed is ideal due to the tool’s small size and coating.
2. Maintain Rigidity
   Use a rigid tool holder and minimize overhang to reduce vibration.
3. Lubrication / Cooling
   Use coolant or lubricants in metal work to extend tool life and reduce heat build-up.
4. Debris Clearance
   Clear chips frequently to avoid clogging the single flute.
5. Inspect for Wear
   Periodically check cutting edge and coating degradation; replace when performance drops.
