Description
The Robet Charles Imperial piloted countersink is a precision cutting tool designed for accurate, repeatable countersinking in CNC and manual machining. With a 3-flute cutting design and an integral pilot, it guides the chamfer for precise hole alignment and a smooth cut, reducing chatter. It’s ideal for aerospace, automotive, and general engineering work where consistent chamfer quality matters.
Designed with a built‑in 3/16" pilot diameter and a 90° inclusive angle, this countersink delivers reliable, concentric chamfers every time. The integral pilot diameter is held to -0.0005" to -0.0015", ensuring repeatable results across production runs. The straight shank fits standard milling or drilling setups, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows.
- Integral Pilot for Accurate Hole Alignment: The built-in pilot guides the countersink for concentric chamfers and reduced deviation, improving hole quality and fit.
- 3-Flute, 90° Countersink Geometry: The 3-flute design, paired with a 90° inclusive angle, delivers a clean, controlled chamfer and efficient material removal with minimal chatter.
- Tight Pilot Diameter Tolerance: Pilot diameter is held at -0.0005" to -0.0015", delivering repeatable, concentric results across production runs and materials.
This countersink supports faster setup, improved finish quality, and reduced rework by delivering consistent chamfers that align precisely with pre-drilled holes. The fixed integral pilot and tight tolerances translate to reliable performance across aerospace, automotive, and general engineering projects, making it a trusted addition to your machining toolkit.
