HSS-E Counterbores for Precise Countersinking

The 180° flat countersinks made from high-performance HSS-E material are a well-thought-out solution for creating precise counterbores for socket head cap screws and cheese-head screws. Equipped with a fixed pilot that is exactly matched to tapping core holes (M3 to M12), the tool ensures accurate guidance without runout. The three-flute geometry (Z3) and the universal cylindrical shank support efficient workflows in professional metalworking.

Applications

This HSS-E counterbore is optimally suited for the metal industry, mechanical engineering, and professional machining applications. It is specifically designed to create chatter-free countersinks in pre-drilled tapping core holes, allowing socket head cap screws to be recessed flush and accurately. Its suitability includes structural steel, tempered steel, stainless steel, as well as various non-ferrous metals like aluminum and brass.

Special features

Thanks to the fixed pilot, the tool centers itself reliably in the core hole, which increases machining accuracy and promotes clean, burr-free surfaces. The cobalt-alloyed HSS-E material creates good conditions for consistent wear resistance, even when working with demanding materials such as stainless steel. Furthermore, the three-flute design ensures quiet and stable machining performance.
