Carbide Tipped Piloted Aircraft Microstop Countersink Cutters are meticulously engineered and designed to create precision countersinks for flush-head fasteners. Constructed with a 5/16” body diameter, these cutters are made with a carbide tip, to combine the roughness of HSS with the wear resistance of carbide. They are suitable for a variety of materials, including hard and abrasive ones and are used in medium to high production environments where both tool life and cutting speed are important. They feature an 100° cutting angle and a 1/4-28 thread, making them compatible with a variety of microstop cages that accept 1/4-28 threaded shank cutters. These cutters are indispensable in aviation and other high-precision industries where exact countersinking is critical.

The design of Omega Carbide Tipped Piloted Aircraft Countersink Cutters is specifically tailored for countersinking holes intended for 5/16” or smaller diameter fasteners. It is crucial that the diameter of the flush fastener heads does not exceed 5/16” to ensure proper seating and optimal performance of the screws. The precision-ground cutters adhere to stringent tolerances, guaranteeing concentricity and consistent, reliable results with every use. This precision is essential for maintaining the integrity and safety of the assembled components, particularly in aerospace applications.

In addition to their precise manufacturing standards, Omega Carbide Tipped Piloted Aircraft Countersink Cutters offer versatility and ease of use. They can be employed in any microstop cage that accommodates 1/4-28 threaded shank cutters, making them a versatile addition to any toolkit. The combination of the carbide tip, precise engineering, and compatibility with standard microstop cages makes these cutters an essential tool for professionals seeking accuracy and reliability in their countersinking tasks.
