    Built-In-Pilot Counterbores

    The pilot centers the counterbore and prevents wobbling for an accurate cut on the first try. With dimensions that match standard screw-head diameters and thread diameters, this is your plug-and-play option for pilot-driven counterbores.

    Oversized Counterbores

    Designed to give screw heads a slightly loose fit, these counterbores are a bit wider than standard sizes. The extra clearance prevents binding and leaves room for a seal or O-ring around the screw head.
