Looking for some opinion on tooling for countersinking inside the VMC. Tried searching for some info but coming up a little empty.
Product
6061-T6
.250 thickness -/+ .030
100 degree countersink
.385 diameter on the countersink.-/+ .030
.201 thru hole
Mounting is from the bottom of the part
The part has wide open tolerances but would like to keep the tolerance much lower for a consistent part. The varying height is changing the diameter of the countersink to much. I have found a few Micro-stop countersink tools that also have over-travel built into the tool.
1. Cogsdill ML-300-OT for $300
2. 2L inc CNC Countersink Depth Stop Tool Used For Countersinking Controls Countersink Depth on Uneven Surfaces $595
3. Floating tap head loaded with a standard microstop. ~$150
Any other suggestions. The Fadal does not have a touch probe setup to check the height of each part.
