Best screw countersink

[johnnyb]

Here's what I consider to be the very best countersink/counterbore and drill. These came from Japan.

We had a big thread on countersinks earlier in the year

I know and after spending loads on very inferior ones I ordered these(after using them for years) they arrived today from Japan. The trend ones are a distant second.

I’ve always found the Festool ones excellent the main one I use is the depth stop one which gives accurate repeatability https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/23581398...gIjxq62tf5oL4Ko6skp07kqJDvZfNe_hoCRtQQAvD_BwE Their snail type ones are also very good but they don’t have a depth stop which I much prefer.

I have a couple of these. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/sho...untersink-drills-with-low-friction-depth-stop Not sure if they match up well to your screw sizes or if there is even a dealer in the UK but they are very good.

There often bundled with a plug cutter that also very effective and an unusual design(its very wide)

The ones I got from Japan were the parallel drills rather than my preferred tapered drill. The tapered drills are more "universal", being a skilled codger means never changing drills.
Countersink with a large Phillips is another favourite.....
