    Quick-Change Hex Drill-Bit Countersinks for Wood and Plastic

    Switch bits instead of tools to simplify jobs. These snap directly into drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank. You can slide the countersink up and down the drill bit and then secure it with a set screw, so one tool will drill countersunk holes for screws of different lengths. These countersinks cut a smooth and even finish in wood and plastic on the first pass.

    The choice if you're countersinking lots of holes, these wear-resistant countersinks cut faster and last longer than carbon steel.
    Manufacturer—We source from trusted manufacturers who vet raw materials for purity and use diamond grinding wheels to machine precise edges. This keeps cutting surfaces smooth and free of microscopic burrs. Because our suppliers clean their wheels more often than other manufacturers, each countersink is consistently ground to create uniform holes every time.

    Pop the 1/4" hex shank into a drill chuck, power screwdriver, or impact driver to drill and counterbore a hole in a single step. These counterbores move along the included drill bit and lock into place with set screws to match the length of the screw you're installing.

    Stops

    Stops—Attach with a set screw to stop the counterbore at the exact depth you need. These stops have a ring on the end that rotates separately from the body. When the ring touches your workpiece, it stops spinning to prevent scratches and dents. An opening in the side clears chips from the hole as you cut.
