The Pluto 16.0 X 12.5 X 22 X 100 MM Counter Sinks with Parallel Shank is a high-performance cutting tool designed to create clean, precise countersinks in a variety of materials, including metals, wood, plastics, and composites. This tool is engineered for use in machining, fabrication, and assembly applications where a conical hole is required to allow for countersunk screws or bolts.
Key Features:
- Countersink Geometry:
- The 16.0 mm diameter cutting edge is the primary feature of the tool. It provides a smooth, consistent angle for countersinking fasteners.
- The conical cutting tip is specially designed to create a chamfered edge at the top of the drilled hole, allowing screws or bolts to sit flush with or slightly below the surface.
- The precise cutting geometry ensures that the countersink is uniform, improving the finished appearance and functionality of the assembly.
- Shank Design:
- The tool is equipped with a parallel shank measuring 12.5 mm in diameter. A parallel shank means that the diameter remains constant from the tip of the tool to the end of the shank, making it compatible with a wide range of power tools, manual machines, or CNC machines that accept standard shank sizes.
- This design helps prevent slippage and ensures consistent performance when attached to drilling or milling machines, offering easy setup and smooth operation.
- Length and Versatility:
- The overall length of 100 mm makes the tool suitable for deeper countersinking applications. The 22 mm cutting length provides sufficient depth for most standard countersinking jobs.
- The additional length allows for better control, particularly when working with thicker materials or when precise, deep countersinks are required.
- Durable and High-Quality Construction:
- The Pluto countersink is constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) or similar durable materials, ensuring excellent wear resistance and long tool life. The material choice also offers excellent heat resistance and hardness, allowing the tool to maintain its sharpness through extensive use.
- The precision-ground cutting edges ensure smooth operation, reducing the risk of vibration and enhancing the accuracy of the countersink. This results in less time spent on rework and higher-quality finished products.
Applications:
The Pluto 16.0 X 12.5 X 22 X 100 MM Counter Sinks with Parallel Shank are versatile tools used across several industries:
- Metalworking: In machining operations where countersinking is required for flush mounting of screws, bolts, or rivets.
- Woodworking: Ideal for creating smooth, flush countersinks to accommodate wood screws in carpentry and furniture making.
- Plastic and Composite Manufacturing: Can be used for countersinking plastic, fiberglass, or composite materials without causing chipping or damage to the material surface.
- Aerospace and Automotive: These countersinks are particularly useful in industries that require precision fastener installations for structural integrity, such as aircraft or automotive components.
The countersink can be used in manual drills, drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machines, making it a highly adaptable tool for various workshop and production environments.
Benefits:
- Precise and Consistent Results: The tool’s high-quality construction and geometry ensure that each countersink is performed accurately, contributing to a professional finish.
- Enhanced Fastener Fit: The conical shape of the countersink allows screws or bolts to be seated perfectly, providing a secure and flush fit that enhances both appearance and function.
- Long Service Life: Made from durable materials, this countersink can withstand heavy use and maintain its cutting edge for a longer time compared to lower-quality alternatives.
- Easy to Use: Thanks to the parallel shank design, this tool is easy to attach and remove from various machines, allowing for fast setup and minimal downtime during production.
