A countersink cutter "SYSTEM" that will dramatically REDUCE your cost per hole, inventories, and production problems. This system provides the ULTIMATE in versatility for countersinking holes 3/16" diameter and larger, for 100° & 130° fasteners. This tool was designed to address the problems and high cost encountered countersinking graphite epoxy and other highly abrasive cast, wrought and composite materials in air frame assembly. Inserts can be supplied with a controlled fillet radius or not, depending on your requirements. Your tool crib need only inventory enough tool bodies to provide for your operators, pilots to satisfy the range of holes, and inserts to address the proper application. The bodies, if handled properly, will last indefinitely. As the pilots wear out, you need only replace the pilot. As the inserts become dull they can be returned to the factory for resharpening (2 to 3 times), if they haven't been damaged beyond repair. Re-sharpening is at a much lower cost then the purchase of new inserts.

HOW TO ORDER VERSI-SINK

You can order VERSI-SINK cutters by complete assemblies or by components from any of our authorized distributors.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

The "VERSI-SINK" is a multi-application cutter with three components; the body, pilot and insert set.

BODY:

The body is manufactured from heat treated steel. The pilot hole, seat angle and insert pockets are all precision machined to provide concentricity and lip height variation within .001 T.I.R.. The inserts are held mechanically with 4-40 set screws, while registering on the pilot and pocket walls. A stop screw is located in the shank to prevent the pilot from damaging the inserts.

PILOT:

The pilots are ground between centers concentric within .0002 T.I.R. The design incorporates a "Locating flat" behind the pilot head for the inserts to register, to maintain the fillet radius tangent to the pilot diameter, regardless of the pilot used.

INSERT:

The inserts are precision ground on all sides in matched sets, to be interchangeable with any body or pilot. NOTE: the inserts must not be mixed, and must be returned in matched sets for reconditioning.
