    About Counterbores
    industrial info icon

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

    Built-In-Pilot Counterbores

    The pilot centers the counterbore and prevents wobbling for an accurate cut on the first try. With dimensions that match standard screw-head diameters and thread diameters, this is your plug-and-play option for pilot-driven counterbores.

    Durable and wear resistant, these counterbores make accurate cuts in most materials without chipping or cracking.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Withstand heat, corrosion, and abrasion for longer than uncoated counterbores, so the cutting edges stay sharper.

    The hardest and most wear-resistant counterbores we offer. These bits stay sharper at higher temperatures and faster speeds for the best performance on hard and abrasive materials.
    C2 Carbide—Hard enough to cut cleanly through cast iron and nonferrous metals.
    C5 Carbide—Harder than C2 Carbide, these counterbores cut steel without damaging themselves or the hole.

    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.
