How to use

Secure the countersink bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Mark the desired hole centre and drill a pilot hole first if required for the screw size. Align the countersink bit with the pilot hole and apply steady, moderate speed and pressure until the required recess depth is reached. Withdraw the bit while the drill is still rotating to avoid catches. Check the fit of the screw head and make small adjustments by repeating the operation if necessary.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and hearing protection when drilling. For best results, test the countersink on a scrap piece of the same material to confirm depth and finish before working on the final component. Maintain moderate drill speeds and avoid excessive feed force to prolong the life of the cutting edge.
