Magafor S421 5-Piece Cobalt Steel Single-End Countersink Assortment, Uncoated (Bright) Finish, Single Flute, 90 Degrees, Round Shank
The Magafor S421 countersink assortment includes five cobalt steel single-end countersinks with an uncoated (bright) finish for creating a 90-degree conical opening that accepts a flat-head fastener so it sits flush with the surface. The single flute quickly cuts through material and has reduced vibration at higher speeds compared to multiple flutes. It is suitable for cutting small holes. Cobalt steel provides extended tool life compared to high-speed steel when cutting hard materials, and maintains the tool's toughness and hardness in high drilling temperatures. The uncoated finish has no additional surface treatment or coating. The tools have a single cutting end and a round shank that accommodates most drill chucks. The set comes in a plastic case.
Countersinks are fluted cutting tools that cut a conical or gradually widened opening for a hole into the surface of a workpiece, which provides a seat for a screw or rivet head. They are also used to create center holes for a machine center, deburr surfaces, and enlarging existing holes. The countersink's body diameter should be the same size or larger than what is being countersunk.
Magafor manufactures precision cutting tools, including counterbores, countersinks, deburring tools, and end mills. The company, founded in 1937, is headquartered in Fontenay-sous-Bois, France.
