Indexable countersink 16x40 mm Smoxh chamfers hole and slot edges at 55° to the axis. It cuts with three TCMT 16T304 inserts over diameters from 16 to 40 mm. Each insert has three cutting edges. A dull edge is replaced by rotating the insert through 120°, without resharpening the tool.
The 55° angle is measured between the insert edge and the tool axis. As the inserts rotate, they sweep out a 110° cone. For every millimeter of plunge depth, the diameter increases by 2.86 mm. The chamfer is shallow and wide: 1 mm of depth corresponds to approximately 1.4 mm of width. The feed per revolution is distributed across 3 cutting edges. The 20 mm shank has a Weldon flat for the holder screw, which locks the tool in the holder.
Applications – hole and slot chamfers at a 55° angle
55° chamfer mill operations
The tool chamfers edges at a 55° angle to the axis. Hole chamfers are cut by axial movement, and slot chamfers by feeding along the slot. The same insert edges cut in both operations. The countersink machines holes and slots wider than 16 mm.
Hole edge chamfer
The countersink feeds axially into a hole wider than 16 mm. The inserts chamfer the edge at a 55° angle to the axis. Chamfer width is set by the plunge depth. Each millimeter of downward travel adds 2.86 mm to the chamfer diameter, up to 40 mm.
Chamfer on both slot edges
The tool is guided along the center of a slot from 16 to 40 mm wide. The inserts chamfer both upper edges in a single pass. Chamfer width is set by the plunge depth. This method is used to chamfer keyway and guideway edges.
Hole chamfer – depth and diameter
How deep to plunge to obtain the required chamfer
The countersink cuts from 16 mm to 40 mm in diameter. At a 55° angle to the axis, the diameter increases by 2.86 mm for each millimeter of downward travel. The maximum plunge depth is 8.4 mm – at this depth, the chamfer reaches a diameter of 40 mm. This range accommodates medium-series clearance holes for M16–M36 screws according to ISO 273.
Calculator: Z-axis plunge depth for chamfer diameter
Plunge depth is measured from the workpiece surface to the insert corners at a diameter of 16 mm. Plunge depth = (chamfer diameter − 16 mm) ÷ 2.86, e.g., (28 − 16) ÷ 2.86 ≈ 4.2 mm. The value 2.86 is the diameter increase per 1 mm of plunge depth at an angle of 55°.

Hole wider than 16 mm
The countersink cuts from a diameter of 16 mm, so the chamfer extends around the entire circumference of a hole wider than 16 mm.
TCMT 16T304 inserts – three edges and indexing
Triangular insert to ISO 1832, Torx T15 screw
The insert code is interpreted according to ISO 1832. T indicates a triangle, so the insert has three cutting edges. C indicates a 7° clearance angle: the insert has positive geometry and cuts freely. M is the tolerance class, and the next T indicates a countersunk screw hole and a chip breaker on one side. 16 indicates an edge of approx. 16.5 mm, T3 a thickness of 3.97 mm, and 04 a corner radius of 0.4 mm.
The insert's 60° angle does not determine the chamfer angle. The 55° angle results from the insert's orientation in the body. The store offers the TCMT 16T304 H6310 insert from the Korean brand Horn. Grade H6310 is a general-purpose grade for steel and stainless steel. The countersink is sold without inserts; 3 pcs are required for a complete set.
Changing edges step by step

M3.5x10 screw and T15 key according to the Smoxh catalog
All inserts are indexed at the same time because they cut on the same cone. A chip under an insert shifts its cutting edge and changes the chamfer diameter, so the insert seat must be cleaned before each installation.
Cutting data – starting values
Cutting speed and feed per tooth – conservative ranges
The ranges are based on milling with an entering angle of 45° according to ISO 513. At an angle of 55°, these are starting values: begin at the lower limit and increase the values while monitoring the chips and spindle sound.
| Workpiece material | Cutting speed vc [m/min] | Feed per tooth fz [mm] |
|---|---|---|
| P Structural and alloy steel | 150–220 | 0.10–0.22 |
| M Stainless steel | 80–140 | 0.08–0.18 |
| K Gray cast iron | 180–300 | 0.10–0.28 |
Calculating spindle speed and feed rate – Ø 40 mm chamfer in steel
Spindle speed is calculated for the largest diameter engaged in the material, here the full chamfer diameter of 40 mm. Spindle speed = 1000 × cutting speed 150 m/min ÷ (3.14 × diameter 40 mm) ≈ 1190 rpm. Feed rate = feed per tooth 0.10 mm × 3 inserts × 1190 rpm ≈ 350 mm/min. These two values are entered into the machine tool program.
Higher spindle speeds and lighter pressure work well for countersinking. Low speeds with heavy pressure cause vibration. When machining stainless steel, coolant protects the hole edge from overheating.
Indexable countersink 16x40 mm Smoxh chamfers holes and slots at 55° to the axis. The diameter range is 16–40 mm, and the maximum plunge depth is 8.4 mm. It cuts with three TCMT 16T304 inserts, each with three edges. The 20 mm Weldon shank prevents the tool from rotating in the holder.
Questions about the 16x40 indexable countersink
Chamfer, inserts, depth, CNC program
An angle of 55° to the axis produces a 110° cone. A chamfer at this angle is machined when specified on the workpiece drawing.
TCMT 16T3 inserts to ISO, e.g., TCMT 16T304 with a 0.4 mm corner radius. The store offers TCMT 16T304 H6310 Horn for steel and stainless steel. The insert is secured with an M3.5x10 screw with a Torx T15 socket.
Three TCMT 16T304 inserts, one in each seat. Each insert has three edges. A set of 3 inserts provides three usable edge positions.
Enter a 110° countersink with a tip diameter of 16 mm in the tool table. Measure the tool height to the insert corners. Plunge depth = (chamfer diameter − 16 mm) ÷ 2.86.
