Heule Tool introduced the COMP V3 that is specifically engineered to perform multiple drilling and countersinking operations on uneven surfaces with precision, and without marking the workpiece.
The adjustable tool can be used for drilling and countersinking or countersinking only; it enhances productivity by eliminating the inconsistency associated with manual countersinking and saves significant cycle time.
The company says that a non-rotational contact foot prevents any marking of the workpiece during operation, making it ideal for super critical finishes. This unique tool offers fine adjustments to the chamfer depth of 0.0008” (0.02mm), and a drill depth of up to 2xd with through coolant capabilities.
The Heule COMP V3 produces clean, precise countersinks in a variety of materials including aluminum, titanium, and composites, making it ideal for critical aircraft components like seat rails, floorboards, structural components, aluminum wheels, and high-value aluminum castings.
It features double compensation technology for precision and finer adjustments; the contact ring compresses as the hole is drilled, and then the contact ring holder compresses after the predetermined countersink depth is reached. This technology allows a variant of part of +/- 3.75mm with height increments of + .02mm is ideal for aerospace applications and others where super critical finishes are required.

- composites
composites
Materials composed of different elements, with one element normally embedded in another, held together by a compatible binder.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- countersink
countersink
Tool that cuts a sloped depression at the top of a hole to permit a screw head or other object to rest flush with the surface of the workpiece.
- countersinking
countersinking
Cutting a beveled edge at the entrance of a hole so a screw head sits flush with the workpiece surface.
