KEO 6-flute line of countersinks are companions to our single flute countersinks and our 3- and 4-flute center reamer line. As a rule, the more edges per revolution, the greater amount of material that may be removed. We have designed the 6-flute tools with staggered cutting edges. Solid carbide tools offer long tool life and faster cutting speeds than other substrates, but are more brittle and must be used with rigid toolholding systems. Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems. When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut) spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging. 90 degree angle.
