Description
Cutting diameterØ5.5 mm
Pilot diameterØ3.2 mm
Overall length70 mm
Straight shankØ6 mm
5.5×3.2 mm counterbore with pilot
Type NWCa · DIN 373 · high-speed steel (HSS) · Artykuly Techniczne brand
Manufactured to DIN 373 5.5×3.2 mm counterbore with pilot (type NWCa) produces flat seats Ø5.5 mm guided by a pilot Ø3.2 mm in the hole. The nonstandard size allows the seat to be matched to special screws, washers, and locating components not covered by the standard DIN series. The counterbore made of steel HSS machines steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. A Polish product from the brand Artykuly Techniczne.

Applications and workpiece materials
Applications and materials for the 5.5×3.2 mm counterbore
Typical applications:
| ✓ | Flat Ø5.5 mm seats in holes with a diameter of 3.2 mm |
| ✓ | Seats for nonstandard screw heads, washers, and sleeves |
| ✓ | Spotfacing around the hole |
| ✓ | Use on CNC machines, drilling machines, and conventional machine tools |
Workpiece materials
✓Structural and carbon steels
✓Copper, brass, bronze
✓Aluminum and light alloys
▲Alloy and stainless steels — with coolant
✗Hardened steels above 45 HRC
Fixed pilot — centering and perpendicularity
Pilot Ø3.2 mm enters a hole with a diameter of 3.2 mm and guides the tool coaxially, keeping the counterbore perpendicular to the hole axis and allowing full surface contact under the screw head. Steel HSS retains its cutting hardness up to an operating temperature of approx. 600°C.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| PStructural and alloy steel | 5–25 | 0.03–0.10 | 290–1 450 | 35–580 |

Vc — cutting speed, fz — feed per tooth. Columns n and f calculated for D = 5.5 mm and Z = 4 (rounded). For tools made of steel HSS-E the cutting parameters can be increased by 25%.
How n and f were calculated (Ø5.5, Z = 4)
Spindle speed n = (Vc × 1000) ÷ (π × D), feed rate per minute f = fz × Z × n. Example for steel (Vc = 20, fz = 0.1): n = 20 000 ÷ 17.3 ≈ 1 150 rpm, f = 0.1 × 4 × 1 150 ≈ 460 mm/min. Start at the lower end of the range and adjust according to the material and clamping rigidity.
Tips and limitations
How to extend tool life
HSS limitations
The tool is not intended for hardened steels above 45 HRC. For stainless and alloy steels, reduce the speed and use coolant — overheating accelerates cutting edge wear. Make sure the guide hole diameter matches the pilot Ø3.2 mm.
Frequently asked questions
The Ø3.2 mm pilot guides the tool in a hole with a diameter of 3.2 mm (sliding fit — the hole must not be smaller than the pilot). In this hole, the counterbore machines a flat, perpendicular seat with a diameter of Ø5.5 mm — for example, for a nonstandard screw head, washer, or sleeve.
A counterbore (DIN 373) produces a flat-bottomed cylindrical seat for a cylindrical head, such as a socket head cap screw. A countersink (DIN 335) produces a 90° chamfer for a conical/countersunk head. Choose a counterbore for cylindrical head screws and a countersink for countersunk screws.
Yes — for ISO M materials (stainless steel), operate at a reduced cutting speed (Vc approx. 6–15 m/min, or approx. 350–870 rpm for Ø5.5 mm) and use coolant to limit work hardening and overheating. Do not use the tool on hardened steels above 45 HRC.
