Countersink Bit Sets

Countersink Bit Sets

AIMS Industrial sells countersink bit sets for creating angled recesses for flathead screws, flush rivets and deburring holes in metal, wood and plastics. Our range from Saber, Noga, Sutton Tools, Bordo, Shaviv and Wiha covers single-flute and multi-flute designs in 82°, 90° and 100° included angles.

Countersink Types and Applications

• Single-flute countersinks: One cutting edge for chatter-free, clean countersinks in hand drills and drill presses — the preferred choice for sheet metal work.
• Multi-flute countersinks: 3–6 cutting edges for faster stock removal in CNC and production environments — require more rigid setup to prevent chatter.
• Deburring countersinks: Bi-directional cutting allows forward and reverse rotation for fast hole-edge deburring without repositioning the drill.
• Combination drill/countersink: Single tool drills pilot hole and countersink simultaneously — ideal for repetitive screw installation in wood and thin sheet.
• 82° included angle: Standard for imperial flathead screws (ASME standard) — the most common countersink angle in North American fastener systems.

Angles and Material Selection

• 90° included angle: Standard for metric flathead (DIN/ISO) screws used in Australian and European manufactured products.
• 100° included angle: Aerospace and aircraft applications where specific fastener angle standards (AN, MS) require a shallower countersink profile.
• Material grade: HSS suits wood, aluminium and mild steel; HSS-Co and carbide are required for stainless, hardened steel and exotic alloys.
• Set selection: Multi-size sets covering 6–25 mm suit most general workshop needs; individual countersinks allow exact size selection for production work.
