    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.

    These wear-resistant countersinks cut faster and last longer than carbon steel countersinks, so they’re often used for high-volume jobs. You can also use them on harder materials, such as steel and stainless steel.

    Drill-Bit Countersinks for Wood and Plastic

    These countersinks attach at various points along the drill bit, so one tool will drill countersunk holes for screws of different lengths. They're designed to cut a smooth and even finish in wood and plastic on the first pass.

    Stronger than high-speed steel, so it will cut through harder materials. However, high-speed steel is more precise, lasts longer, and cuts at higher speeds.

    Counterbores for High-Profile Rounded-Head Screws

    Cut flat, close-fitting recesses for fillister-head screws. These counterbores cut deeply enough for screws with tall head profiles to sit flush with the surface.

    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.

    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Withstand heat, corrosion, and abrasion for longer than uncoated counterbores, so the cutting edges stay sharper.

    Tougher and more wear resistant than high-speed steel counterbores, these counterbores last at least twice as long. They can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without chipping on hard materials, such as nickel.

    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.
