High-Speed Steel Drill-Bit Countersinks for Screws
For use on wood, plastic, and most metals, these countersinks attach to a drill bit (sold separately) to countersink and drill holes at the same time. They attach to the drill bit with two set screws and the position can be adjusted for different screw lengths. An 82° countersink angle is compatible with the profile of flat- and oval-head inch screws; a 90° countersink angle is compatible with the profile of flat- and oval-head metric screws and is also good for deburring.
Optional collar (not included) controls the cutting depth of your countersink. It attaches with two set screws.
