HEULE Tool, a leader in cross hole finishing technology, introduces the COMP V3 which is specifically engineered to perform multiple drilling and countersinking operations on uneven surfaces with precision, and without marking the workpiece. This 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. A unique 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. 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.

How it works
COMP V3 tooling includes an adjustment ring, a contact ring holder, a contact ring, and the solid carbide step drill. In Step 1 the tool head makes contact with the workpiece. As the solid carbide step drill drills the hole, the contact ring moves up. The drill continues working until the preset countersink depth is reached. When the countersink reaches maximum depth, the contact ring holder and contact ring move up together as the drill stays stationary. The drill is then removed, leaving a finished part.
COMP V3 is spring loaded and designed to cut a specific countersink size. Once the specific size chamfer is produced, the face of the tool stops rotation while making contact with the part, and the cutter cannot travel further into the part. Utilizing a highly efficient threaded system for quick changes between drill and countersink operations streamlines the workflow. Each COMP tool is tailored to customer specifications, leveraging common components to ensure easy integration into existing systems.
HEULE Precision Tools has manufactured the highest quality cutting tools since 1961, supporting a wide range of hole-finishing tools for front and back deburring, countersinking, chamfering, and counterboring for larger industrial manufacturing companies throughout the world. They specialize in high production environments in the automotive, aerospace, energy, and medical industries.
