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. Cobalt steel tools are similar to high-speed steel, but with more cobalt for improved performance when cutting harder metals such as stainless steel or nickel alloys. 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. 120 degree angle.
