Burr-free Countersink for Hermetically Sealed Products

Anyone can control the chamfer size on one side of a part with a through hole. Most machinists can even do it without the presence of a burr. But when it comes to the other side of the part, controlling chamfer size or corner break size can be a challenge. This is especially true for parts that require a .002” maximum corner break.

For those involved with glass to metal seals, (hermetic seals) you know how important it is to maintain flat, uniform and burr-free surfaces on a part prior to melting the glass. The larger the chamfer is, the more predominant the meniscal effect becomes. Whether you are grinding the seal or producing a flat seal, a consistent corner break can only increase the quality of your finished product.

Price Manufacturing, Inc. has developed and perfected a multi-fluted counter sinking tool for use on multi-spindle screw machines, that actually faces the part, bores the hole and controls the corner break in one operation. Accompanied by an ingenious self centering tool holder, the multitasking countersink tool produces a smooth, burr-free corner the first time and every time. Send us your blue print and we will explain how our technique can improve your process.
