    About Countersinks
    industrial info icon

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

    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.

    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.
