    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.

    Stops

    Stops—Attach with a set screw to stop the counterbore at the exact depth you need. These stops have a ring on the end that rotates separately from the body. When the ring touches your workpiece, it stops spinning to prevent scratches and dents. An opening in the side clears chips from the hole as you cut.
