  • Integrated pilot ensures accurate hole alignment without separate tooling
  • Bright finish reduces friction and simplifies chip evacuation

Cleveland C91697 Counterbore — 0.250 dia

The Cleveland C91697 is a high-speed steel counterbore with a 0.250 inch diameter and a 3.000 inch overall length. It features a built-in pilot designed for #8 wire size holes. This accessory is intended for power and pneumatic tool users who need to create flat-bottomed recesses for screw heads in a single operation.

Heat, noise and power in normal use

High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during intermittent drilling cycles typical of hand-held or press-fed pneumatic tools. The tool generates standard cutting noise levels for metalworking accessories of this class. Power draw is determined entirely by the driving tool and the workpiece material being machined.

What this replaces and when to upgrade

This counterbore replaces separate drilling and counterboring steps or worn high-speed steel tools that no longer cut cleanly. The jump is worth it when a built-in pilot matched to #8 wire size improves hole alignment and reduces setup time compared to pilotless alternatives. It is not suited for production volumes that demand carbide tool life or for diameters outside the 0.250 inch specification.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Cleveland C91697 counterbore and what step is often missed?

Insert the .250 diameter shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely; the built-in pilot aligns automatically, but users often forget to verify the pilot seats flush before starting the cut.

What maintenance or replacement will the Cleveland C91697 counterbore need over time?

The high-speed steel cutting edges will dull with use; resharpen or replace the tool once the .250 diameter pilot or flutes show wear that affects hole quality.

What limit appears first on the Cleveland C91697 counterbore during sustained drilling?

Heat buildup in the high-speed steel body at the 3.000 length reduces cutting efficiency and accelerates edge wear before any structural issue arises.
