Frequently Asked Questions

How is this countersink attached to a boring bit?

The countersink features a 10 mm inside diameter that allows it to slip directly over the body of a carbide tipped boring bit. It is then held securely in place using a set screw, making installation and bit changes quick and straightforward.

What countersink angle does the Freud 7016R use, and why does it matter?

This countersink is machined to an 82 deg. angle, which is the correct geometry for properly seating flat-head fasteners in a wide range of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, plywoods, composites, and solid surface materials. Using the correct angle ensures a flush, clean finish without over- or under-countersinking.

What types of boring machines is this countersink compatible with?

The Freud 7016R is designed for use with carbide tipped boring bits on both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. Its right hand (RH) rotation matches the standard spindle direction used in these machines.

Does this countersink come with any warranty coverage?

Yes. Freud backs this countersink with their Limited Lifetime Guarantee, providing manufacturer assurance of long-term quality and durability for high-production industrial use.
