How to use

Mount the countersink drill bit securely in a compatible drill or driver with the correct chuck tightening. Mark and centre the drilling point, then drill a pilot hole if required before countersinking. Use steady, moderate speed and consistent pressure; apply lubricant when working with metal to prolong the life of the cutting edges. Clean chips from the hole regularly to maintain accuracy and a clean finish.

Recommendations

For best results, select an appropriate pilot drill size for the screw being used, set drill speed according to material (lower speed for metals), and inspect the cutting edge for wear before each use. Store the bit in its blister packaging or a protective case to prevent edge damage.
