About Countersinks
Countersinks cut a cone-shaped opening to install screws and rivets flush with a surface or hold workpieces between centers on a lathe. They can also be used for chamfering and deburring.

High-Speed Steel Vibration-Resistant
Through-Hole Countersinks with Pilot for Screws
The built-in pilot maintains alignment in the hole. Also known as zero-flute countersinks, these have an angled hole that passes through the center of the tool to reduce vibration and chatter, which creates smooth cuts and prevents chips from clogging the countersink. The 82° countersink angle is compatible with the profile of flat- and oval-head inch screws.

Oversized Long-Life Counterboring Drill Bits
These counterbores are often used when screw holes in sheets or layers are misaligned. Also known as subland drill bits, they last longer than standard counterboring drill bits because the diameter stays the same after sharpening. They drill and counterbore at the same time. After drilling and counterboring, tap the hole and install your fastener. The diameters account for the 1/32” or 1/64” oversized diameter rating.
