The WESKIT010 Microstop Kit provides a standardized solution for airframe countersinking across multiple clearance scenarios. The kit is built around three core components: the WES396-S for restricted spaces, the WES596-F for standard production operations, and the WES596-ER3 which provides a 1.25" extension for deep-reach applications.
This configuration utilizes interchangeable skirt profiles to adapt to different aircraft skin geometries. The inclusion of internal-threaded skirts with nylon footpieces (39604-IN and 59604-IN) allows for precision depth control while preventing surface scoring on clad aluminum and composite substrates.
Clearance Adaptability: Provides both compact WES396-series and standard WES596-series cages to transition between tight rib sections and open-skin assembly.
Surface Protection: Nylon-base footpieces provide a non-marring interface for sensitive aerospace materials, eliminating metal-to-metal contact.
Extended Reach: The WES596-ER3 allows for repeatable countersinking in obstructed areas and deep-pocket fastener rows.
High-Cycle Durability: 100% manufactured in the USA from aircraft-grade materials to withstand continuous assembly line use.
