WELDON DB-18 .188″ Min Cutting Dia., .531″ Max Cutting Dia., 1/4″ Shank Dia., 90° High Speed Steel Zero Flute Countersink/Deburring Time-Limited

Make that Socket-head Screw Fit Tight on Workpiece with Weldon’s Countersinks & Deburring Tool. Presenting a new style of specialty tool from Weldon is a straight shank, double-ended countersinks & deburring tool. Made from High Speed Steel, it is used to enlarge the opening of a hole on a wide range of workpiece material, producing a flat bottom for a socket-head screw to fit flush with the surface. Countersinks have a greater range of applications under its portfolio. Widen a drilled hole and facilitates subsequent tapping with Countersinking, whereas Deburring will remove the burr on the drill hole for safety and/or optical reasons. They come in standard sizes of included angles 60°, 82°, 90° to fit most head screws. The selection of right countersink angle depends on the application and works well with low cutting speed. Furthermore, a cross-hole through the head forms two cutting edges. This also prevents jamming the machining operation as removed chips are transported away via the hole. Carrying forward a century-old tradition since 1918, Weldon has made significant contributions to specialty cutting tools. It has credited the industry with a number of innovations like the Weldon Zero Flute Countersink, the Weldon Crest Kut in high-speed steel, and Weldon’s Tri-Power, solid carbide, end mill for aluminum. Nonetheless, when you purchase a Weldon product, you are not only buying a tool, you will also receive the best customer and technical support in the industry.
