Operational Insights
As the tool is fed into the part, the blades start cutting once the tip contacts the material. The operator continues to feed the tool until the desired countersink size is achieved, then rapidly retracts the tool. The GH-K's shallow radial clearance ensures precision and chatter-free countersinks, although controlled feed rates may be necessary. For more aggressive feed rates, shims can be added to adjust the tool's performance.
Benefits
- Precision and Efficiency: Delivers accurate countersinks without chatter.
- Cost-Effective: Replaceable and re-grindable blades extend the tool's lifespan.
- Versatile Usage: Suitable for a variety of materials and machining applications.
Optimize your machining operations with the GH-K chatter-free countersinking tool, available for immediate delivery in a wide range of sizes.
