    Drill-Point Counterbore Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Counterbores. Drill-Point Counterbore Sets.
    Skip a step when installing screws of various thread diameters in metal. With a sharp point on the tip, these counterbores drill a pilot hole topped with a flat recess for the screw head. That's faster and more accurate than switching to a counterbore in between passes with your drill bit.

    Also known as step drill bits, these bits countersink as they drill. The 82° countersink angle is compatible with the profile of flat- and oval-head inch screws. After multiple sharpenings, the drill bit diameter may become smaller.

    Built-in-Pilot Counterbores

    A pilot centers these counterbores and prevents wobbling for an accurate cut on the first try. With dimensions that match standard screw-head diameters and thread diameters, they are your plug-and-play option for pilot-driven counterbores.
    Metric counterbores have undersized pilots to meet DIN standards.

    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.

    Counterbore Drill Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Counterbore Drill Bits. Counterbore Drill Bits.
    Often called step drill bits, these cut a pilot hole and counterbore in a single pass to eliminate tool changes and ensure precise alignment. Made of high-speed steel, they handle a wide range of materials, including aluminum, plastic, and stainless steel. They can be resharpened to extend tool life. The body diameter may decrease after multiple sharpenings.

    Counterbore Insert Holders

    Shown with Inserts (Sold

    Separately)

    Designed to reduce waste and costs during high-volume jobs, these counterbores consist of both an insert and a holder. When the cutting edges dull, you can replace the insert rather than the entire tool. The inserts are locked in place with a screw for a hold that’s strong enough to handle the high speeds of a CNC machine. These counterbores create flat-bottomed holes that allow socket head screws to sit flush with the surface of your material.

    Individual Carbide

    Insert Case

    Inserts have a positive rake, which means the cutting edge is angled to reduce vibration and prevent thin workpieces from bending. For longer life, each insert has three cutting edges—when one edge dulls, rotate to the next one. They have chip breakers to stop long chips from forming, so they won’t block the flow of coolant or damage your tool. Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.
