Screw Pilot & Countersink Drill Bit Set – Key FAQs
What does this pilot and countersink set do in one step?
It drills a pilot hole, creates a clearance hole and forms a countersink in one operation, helping you speed up screw fixing and improve consistency.
Which screw sizes is the set designed for?
It’s based around popular screw gauges: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12g, making it a handy choice for common woodworking and DIY fixings.
Is the pilot drill bit replaceable?
Yes, the set includes a replaceable HSS pilot drill bit, so you can maintain clean drilling performance without replacing the whole tool.
Will it help stop wood splitting?
Pre-drilling a pilot hole can help reduce splitting, especially near edges and in hardwoods, while the countersink helps the screw head seat neatly.
Can I use it on materials other than wood?
It’s primarily intended for wood applications. For plastics or softer sheet materials it may work with care, but for metal you’ll typically need a dedicated countersink setup.
What is the shank size for the drill chuck?
