DEWALTCountersink Drill Bit Set #6, #8, #10, 3-Piece (DW2535)

I bought this for a woodworking project where I needed to countersink the screws. It did a great job. I especially like the adjustable stop to set the depth of the holes. The Allen wrench is included.

Like all dewalt these also are good quality. I’mA longtime woodworker and bought these a few times.

I love these things for countersinking. I was building drawers for a pantry. I wanted to countersink the screws so that I could set them and cover them with wood filler so they aren't visible.The points on the bits allow you to drive them exactly where you want (on pine, for sure, harder wood might be different but I did okay on maple and oak). Stick that needle point in the spot you want the pilot hole and it doesn't walk at all. Just bites down and drills it out.I don't know how they'll last, and if you break that tapered bit I don't think you'll be able to replace them.But I really like how they work.

I LOVE these things. They work great--so much so that I wanted to get several more of a particular size, to "Set and forget" for the screws I use most often.And the fact that they are a two-piece COUNTERSINK PLUS BIT saved me, when one of the smaller bits broke. (My fault, but I just put in a replacement bit and kept going.)On their own, the set gets 5 stars. The trouble starts when looking to replace or add individual items in the set.BUT: When the description says replacement BITS are available, it means just that--the BITS. The DeWalt folks just responded to my question, saying that there are individual part numbers for the ITEMS in this set.I've now returned teeny things from Bosch and DeWalt that LOOKED like replacement units, but they weren't. And they were too small in any case. I did, however, find something at last that looks like an exact replica, from MAKITA. So to extras of a specific size, do a search like "Makita #8 countersink bit".

Still using these months later, my first and hopefully last countersink bits! Good for wood working!

Drilled pilot holes with counter sink made new stairs.

I started using these DeWalt spiral drill/countersinks years ago when building an ipe' deck. EVERY screw had to have a pilot hole. These three sizes are a good combination for most sizes of screws. Could use one longer, but you could buy that separately. Be careful not to overheat these, as they will break, but other than that, they cut fine, and stay sharp. I speak from experience, after using them in hard, hard, ipe'. I usually get a set every couple years or so, and depend on them for clean screwing. The countersinks are great - the set collar is not too bulky, so you can get it into tighter places than some other designs I've tried. These break if you hit another fastener (that's operator error) or bend them while drilling (also op error). Having overheated them in ipe', I gotta say they are pretty amazing. They continue to cut, making clean holes, at least until you break off the tip and reshape it...they still work, even then, just not as well.
