    About Countersinks
    industrial info icon

    Choose the right countersink angle, body diameter, and number of flutes for your application.

    Countersinks for Rivets

    Cut a cone-shaped opening in a hole to install your rivet flush with the surface. The 100°, 110°, and 120° countersink angles are compatible with standard rivet heads.
    High-Speed Steel
    These versatile, wear-resistant countersinks cut cleanly in most materials, including plastic, aluminum, and steel.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these can last 50% longer than uncoated countersinks.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Withstand heat, corrosion, and abrasion better than uncoated and black oxide countersinks, so they stay sharp over longer periods.
    Number of Flutes—Countersinks with fewer flutes are best for aggressive cutting. They leave more room for chips to clear, reducing friction and heat. Countersinks with more flutes spread the cut across more edges for better stability, a smoother finish, and longer tool life.

    Cobalt Steel
    Tough and wear resistant, these countersinks last at least twice as long as high-speed steel. They can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without chipping on hard materials, such as nickel.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these can last 50% longer than uncoated countersinks.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Withstand heat, corrosion, and abrasion better than uncoated and black oxide countersinks, so they stay sharp over longer periods.

    The hardest and most wear-resistant countersinks you can buy. They stay sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds for the best performance on hard and difficult-to-machine materials. They last 10 to 20 times longer than their closest alternative, cobalt steel. Carbide can be brittle, however, so use a rigid machine tool holder to prevent breakage.
