Impressed. Especially by the result.

A new generation of countersinks – Made in Germany.

A new generation of countersinks – Made in Germany.

With three cutting edges and an impressive performance. The key feature is an optimized and improved cutting edge geometry, which contributes to significantly reduced axial and radial forces during the countersinking process.

The variable relief angle guarantees an exceptionally smooth countersinking process and a resulting round and scratch-free surface.

Another key feature is the chip clearance parameters: From the chip angle, through the transition radii, to the extra-wide chip flutes, these work together to ensure optimal chip and heat evacuation, thereby contributing to very high wear resistance with significantly improved tool life.

In addition, the new geometry counteracts material welding, which reduces countersinking forces and allows the countersinking process to be carried out with significantly less feed force.

Depending on the materials, it is possible to work at either very high or very low cutting speeds without adversely affecting the quality of the countersinking result.

Impressively different: The new generation of 3S countersinks

  • Impressively perfect countersinking results. For perfectly circular countersinks with a uniform, scratch-free surface.
  • Impressively low effort. With over 30 % less feed force for comfortable working.*
  • Impressively fast. With an average countersinking time of just 8 seconds – equivalent to a reduction in machining time of more than 50 % compared with commercial countersinks.*
  • Impressively economical. With up to 60 % longer tool life.*

*The performance figures and statements provided are based on defined test conditions carried out in our in-house testing and experimental facilities.

RUKO countersink 3S and competitor products

Comparison of countersinking results in S235JR structural steel, t = 10 mm, with a countersink diameter of 20.5 mm:

On the left is the new 3S cone countersink with a uniform, finely textured countersinking surface and a clear, circular contour.

Center and right: The competitor products show deeper grooves, a rougher surface texture and localized irregularities.

Impressively wear-resistant. Impressive results.

Cutting angle, transition radius, extra-wide flute – these newly developed cutting zone parameters enable optimum chip removal and heat dissipation, thereby ensuring very high wear resistance.

The variable relief angle ensures a very smooth countersinking process with an optimal and virtually scratch-free surface finish.

Number of cutting edges3
Smooth operation / comfort / wear and tearWorks very well with no noticeable rattling. Hardly any wear on the tool.
EffortUp to 30 % less effort per countersink while maintaining the same processing time.
Chip removalClean spiral chips detach from the tool on their own.
Surface quality of the countersinkSmooth surface and circular recess.
Ø Countersinking time (Seconds per lowering cycle)8 s/countersink (S235JR structural steel, t = 10 mm, countersink diameter 20.5 mm).

The new countersink 3S enables noticeably less strain and low-vibration operation. This results in faster machining with minimal effort, leading to excellent surface quality.
