Thanks IMERC 8)
That's a nice looking and very complete set, looks like all the screw sizes are covered.

That is the second Lee Valley set posted, I guess they have the corner on bits down.

Thanks again for the post
;)

That's my question.......what are "better bits"  I thought the Dewalt set were a good set but they failed miserably, I buy individual ones at the big box store and they fail too.....they don't cut well and the set screw fails. 

What is a good countersink bit?

Robert

what ya find at the BB's can leave a lot to be desired...

i like the countersinks that i got from W.L. Fuller.  I use a type "K" countersink as i can use it to counterbore a deep hole.  just my 2 cents

Thanks for the link Radar, now to get it from Iowa to Ontario, Canada


If you need some help with this, we are not too far from Pella.

I've tried vermont american, craftsman, hitachi, kobalt.  I hate em all.  I havent done much fine woodworking lately that requires a good clean countersink, but next time I do, I'll probably just go the extra mile and drill a good countersink hole with a 3/8" bit and then the pilot hole.  But now I like using cut nails more than anything ;D  I don't like to work with real hard woods though either, mostly sassafras poplar and some walnut ocassionaly.  So far the countersink set I liked the most came from MLCS woodworking catalog.  It was 18 bucks IIRC and Id still use them if I could find all of em.  DOH!

[IMERC]

careful....
the tools in that leevally catalog may get you estranged...

get her the other catlogs and she may get so wrapped in them she may not notice what yur up to...

[ely]

not to worry man, i am already as you say "estranged"
i see it as no one but me to please and no one but me to spend my money.
should be a great next half life. ;D

[IMERC]
