    About Countersinks
    industrial info icon

    Choose the right countersink angle, body diameter, and number of flutes for your application.

    Smooth-Finish Countersinks for Screws

    Spiral flutes on these countersinks minimize vibration to cut a smooth hole that snugly fits your screw head. The flutes also lift chips out of the hole, so you don’t have to stop to clear them.

    Countersink Sets for Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Countersinks. Countersink Sets for Screws.
    Cut cone-shaped recesses for screws of various diameters so the screw head sit flush with the surface. Choose an 82° countersink angle for inch screws or a 90° countersink angle for metric screws.
    High-Speed Steel—These versatile, wear-resistant countersinks cut cleanly in most materials, including plastic, aluminum, and steel.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Withstand heat, corrosion, and abrasion better than uncoated and black oxide countersinks, so they stay sharp over longer periods.
    Number of Flutes—Countersinks with fewer flutes are best for aggressive cutting. They leave more room for chips to clear, reducing friction and heat. Countersinks with more flutes spread the cut across more edges for better stability, a smoother finish, and longer tool life.
