    About Counterbores
    industrial info icon

    Create flat-bottomed holes, so your screw heads sit flush, recessed, or slightly raised.

    Drill-Point Counterbores

    Skip a step when installing screws 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.

    Adjustable-Diameter Counterbores

    Skip buying different tools to counterbore multiple diameters. Use the set screw on these counterbores to adjust the blades to the diameter you need.
    The included replaceable pilot has the minimum pilot head diameter recommended for use with these counterbores. If your application requires a larger pilot head diameter, choose a different pilot with the same shank diameter as the included pilot. These counterbores require rigid tool holding to prevent breakage and are not for use with hand-held tools.

    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.

    Shown with Pilot (Sold Separately)

    A popular choice when counterboring for nonstandard screw sizes, this tool creates counterbored holes for screws of various thread diameters. Attach a pilot (sold separately) that matches the diameter of your pilot hole. The pilot centers the counterbore and prevents wobbling to create an accurate recess for the screw head on the first try.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Counterbores. Fast-Cutting Smooth-Finish Drill-Bit Counterbores for Wood.
    With thin cutting edges to minimize contact with the hole, these counterbores make smooth, accurate cuts at high speeds. Attach them to any drill bit with a 1/2" shank and a cutting diameter of 1/2" or larger. They move up and down the drill bit and lock into place with set screws to match the length of the screw you're installing.

    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.

    Reverse Counterbores

    If the hole is obstructed, these counterbores drill from the reverse side instead. They're handy for adding counterbores to existing installations.
    After drilling your through hole, put the shank (sold separately) in your drill chuck and insert it all the way through. Then reach into the confined space to stick the counterbore head onto the shank. Pull back on the drill to counterbore the hole.

    Carbide-Insert Port Counterbore Kits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Counterbores. Carbide-Insert Port Counterbore Kits.
    Replace dull edges instead of buying new counterbores to reduce costs during high-volume jobs. These kits come with all you need to cut precise port holes for hydraulic fittings, including a holder and two types of replaceable inserts. The pilot insert guides the counterbore as it penetrates material, and the form inserts finish the hole to the exact size you need. Secure the inserts with the included screws so they stay in place, even at the high speeds of your CNC machine. These kits meet aerospace and military specifications for leakproof port holes, so fittings stay sealed over time, even during sudden pressure and vibration. When you need to cut threads in the hole, use the included thread mill.
    Replacement inserts come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability. The replacement form insert screw for 9816N12 can also be used to secure the pilot insert.
