Pluto 14.0 X 12.5 X 22 X 100 mm Countersink with Parallel Shank
The Pluto 14.0 X 12.5 X 22 X 100 mm Countersink is a high-quality, precision-engineered tool designed to create chamfered edges or countersunk holes in a wide range of materials, including metals, wood, and plastics. This countersink tool features a 14 mm diameter, making it ideal for a variety of fastening applications where smaller screws or bolts are required. It is suitable for both professional machinists and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a smooth and precise finish on their workpieces. Its robust design and versatile features make it a valuable tool for many different tasks, from woodworking to metalworking.
Key Specifications:
- Countersink Diameter (14.0 mm):
The 14.0 mm diameter refers to the widest part of the countersink, where it creates the conical hole or chamfer. This size is typically used for medium-sized screws, bolts, or fasteners. It is ideal for applications that require a consistent, smooth, and professional finish, such as seating screws flush with the surface of the material.
- Flute Length (12.5 mm):
The flute length is 12.5 mm, which is the cutting length of the tool. This portion of the countersink engages with the material, creating the chamfer or countersunk hole. The relatively short flute length ensures the tool can be used effectively in a variety of materials without over-reaching into the material, allowing for better control.
- Overall Length (22 mm):
The overall length of 22 mm refers to the total length of the tool from the cutting tip to where the shank begins. This length provides sufficient cutting depth for most standard applications while maintaining stability during operation.
- Shank Length (100 mm):
The shank length of 100 mm ensures the tool is long enough to be securely held in a drill press, CNC machine, or hand drill. The longer shank makes it easier to use in deep holes or projects that require greater reach. It also helps provide a secure grip during use, reducing the chance of slippage.
- Parallel Shank:
The parallel shank design means the diameter of the shank remains constant along its length, making it compatible with standard drill chucks, collets, and other tool-holding devices. This design provides a more stable and secure fit in the machine, ensuring accurate, consistent results throughout the operation.

- Plastics and Composites: The tool can also be used on plastics, composites, and other materials that require chamfering or countersinking.
- Easy to Use:
The long 100 mm parallel shank ensures ease of use in most drill presses, hand drills, or other equipment, providing a secure fit for a steady, controlled operation. Its long reach allows the tool to be used in a variety of working conditions, including tight spaces or deep holes.
- Consistent Results:
The Pluto 14.0 X 12.5 X 22 X 100 mm countersink ensures that each chamfer or countersink is produced consistently, making it an excellent choice for precision work. Whether you’re working with metal, wood, or plastic, the tool provides a smooth, professional finish that is crucial for assembly or aesthetic purposes.
Applications:
- Countersinking for Fasteners:
This countersink tool is primarily used for creating conical recesses in holes to allow screws, bolts, or rivets to sit flush or slightly below the material surface. The 14 mm diameter is perfect for medium to large fasteners and can be used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive, furniture, machinery, and electronics.
- Chamfering:
The tool can also be used to create chamfered edges on drilled holes, which is especially useful when preparing parts for assembly or when creating aesthetic bevels on edges.
- Deburring and Edge Finishing:
In addition to countersinking, this tool is ideal for removing burrs and sharp edges from holes. It helps to provide a smoother finish and can improve the safety and appearance of a workpiece.
- Fine-Tuning and Precise Work:
For projects that require high precision, such as machining, metalworking, and wood finishing, the Pluto 14.0 mm countersink is an essential tool for achieving the exact finish needed.
Compatibility:
- Tool Compatibility:
The parallel shank design is compatible with a wide range of drilling tools, including hand drills, drill presses, CNC machines, and other powered equipment. The uniform diameter of the shank ensures a tight, secure fit in standard drill chucks or collets.
- Material Compatibility:
Suitable for use with various materials:
- Metal: Ideal for steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals.
- Wood: Great for softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, MDF, and composite materials.
- Plastics/Composites: The tool can also be used for countersinking and chamfering plastics, fiberglass, and composite materials.
