TECWERK Flat Countersink DIN 373 M6 – HSS, 180° countersink TECWERK Flat Countersink DIN 373 M6 is a precision countersink with cylindrical shank and fixed pilot pin, designed for clean chamfers for cylinder head screws, hexagon screws and nuts in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals HSS construction for long tool life DIN 373 standard compatibility 180° countersink angle for flush seating Three cutting edges for smooth finish Precise, burr-free chamfers for secure fastenings The HSS tool geometry and three cutting edges ensure consistent chip formation and a clean edge, producing burr-free countersinks that improve the seating of fasteners and reduce rework. The tool is intended for use after a pilot drill has produced the core hole; the specified quality grade for pilot holes guarantees accurate guidance. The result is repeatable seating depth and improved joint integrity, particularly where flush mounting is critical in assemblies. Reliable alignment and repeatable process security Equipped with a cylindrical shank and a fixed pilot pin, the design follows DIN 373, offering reliable alignment when countersinking for cylinder head and hexagon screws and nuts. This mechanical guidance reduces radial runout and vibration, which in turn lowers the risk of chatter marks and surface defects. The standardised form factor simplifies machine setup and replacement, delivering predictable results across batches without complex adjustment. Productive machining with clear operating parameters Best results are achieved at a low cutting speed, with an indicated feed of 0.2 mm/rev in steels up to 500 N, which balances tool life and surface quality. The countersink performs well on steel, cast iron and non-ferrous/light metals, producing smooth chamfers while limiting heat build-up thanks to the HSS substrate. Fewer passes and reduced deburring translate into shorter cycle times and lower downstream labour, making this countersink suitable for both workshop maintenance and small-series production.

Made from HSS, the cutter provides toughness and wear resistance that support stable operation in standard workshop conditions. The tool’s geometry is specified to DIN 373, ensuring compatibility with established countersinking practices and simplifying process planning in maintenance and small-batch manufacturing. Precise application range and machining guidance With a 180° countersink angle and an M8 nominal size, the cutter is intended for chamfers to accept cylinder head screws, hex screws and nuts; the fixed pilot pin and cylindrical shank guarantee concentric guidance through a through-hole. For steel up to the indicated strength, the recommended feed is 0.2 mm per revolution, and best results are achieved at lower cutting speeds, which reduces heat and promotes a clean edge without smearing or roll-over on softer metals. Operational advantages for workshop and production The medium-grade specification makes this countersink suitable for through-hole operations where a balance of tool life and cutting performance is required. The combination of HSS material and robust shank design reduces the frequency of rework and tool changes, supporting smoother production flow and predictable cycle times. When used in the recommended speed and feed window, the cutter lowers the risk of chatter and produces a consistent seating surface for fasteners. Practical considerations and compatibility This countersink excels in applications across steel, cast iron and a range of non-ferrous and light metals, including aluminium alloys, delivering clear advantages for workshop repair, component finishing and assembly preparation. The tool’s fixed pilot pin simplifies setup for through-holes, and conformity to DIN 373 facilitates integration with existing jigs and fixtures. For operations requiring higher cutting speeds or specialised coatings, consider matching tool grades and machining parameters to the component material.

TECWERK Countersink DIN 373 M8 – HSS, 180° Angle, 3‑flute The TECWERK countersink DIN 373 M8 is a high‑speed steel countersinking tool designed to produce clean, burr‑free seats for fasteners in core holes across steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous materials. High‑speed steel construction for durability and precision 180° countersink angle for flat seating of screw heads Cylinder shank with fixed pilot pin for exact guidance Three cutting edges for smooth, burr‑free finishing Precision seating for secure assemblies The countersink is made from HSS (high‑speed steel) and conforms to DIN 373, ensuring the geometry suits standard core holes and common fastener types. Its 180° countersink angle provides a flat, even bearing surface for cylinder head screws and hexagon fasteners, which reduces stress concentrations at the screw head. Produced seats are burr‑reduced and consistent, which lowers the need for secondary deburring operations and improves assembly repeatability. For workshops aiming to reduce rework, this results in measurable time savings and improved joint reliability. Stable guidance and predictable cutting behaviour Equipped with a cylinder shank and a fixed pilot pin, the tool centres precisely in pre‑drilled core holes, preventing wobble and minimising surface irregularities. The design includes three cutting edges, which distribute cutting forces evenly for a cleaner finish and less vibration compared with two‑flute variants. For steel applications the recommended feed is 0.2 mm/rev at moderate cutting speeds; the tool achieves its best results when operated at lower surface speeds, which reduces thermal load and preserves the cutting edge life. The pilot pin also helps to maintain concentricity during rapid production runs, supporting consistent part quality. Versatile material compatibility and workshop advantages This countersink is suitable for use in steel and cast iron, as well as non‑ferrous and light metals, giving machining shops a single tool for a broad range of common tasks. The robust HSS material balances wear resistance with ease of resharpening when necessary, offering long service life without complex tooling investment. By producing clean, flat countersinks that match standard fastener geometries, the tool reduces assembly variation and facilitates faster inspection cycles. Integration into existing tool holders is straightforward due to the standard shank form, making it a practical addition for both manual and CNC workstations.
