    Center holes perfectly before installing hinges, latches, and other hardware that require a countersunk screw. These bits have a built-in guide with a beveled tip that keeps the bit in position as it enters the material. So instead of measuring and marking, use your hardware as a template to drill the pilot holes. Once screws are installed, they're straight and the heads are flush. Also known as Vix bits.
    Round Shank—Fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Simplify jobs by switching bits instead of tools. These snap directly into power screwdrivers, drills, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank.
    High-Speed Steel—Wear and heat resistant, these bits are versatile for use on a range of materials.
