    Drill-Point Countersinks for Screws

    Save time by drilling a pilot hole and countersinking in a single step. These countersinks have a small drill point to drill new pilot holes topped with cone-shaped recesses for screw heads.

    2 Flutes

    These versatile, wear-resistant countersinks cut cleanly in most materials, including plastic, aluminum, and steel.
    Number of Flutes—Countersinks with fewer flutes reduce chatter, so you can run them at high speeds. Countersinks with a higher number of flutes remove more material per revolution, leaving a smoother finish and extending tool life.
    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.

    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.
    High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these counterbores make accurate cuts in most materials without chipping or cracking.

    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 Insert Holders

    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.

    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.
