Amana Tool Carbide Tipped 82 Degree Countersink with Tapered Drill

Boys and Girls,

With the popularity of these drill bits from feedback of owners, I’m surprised I haven’t posted these sooner… I had to check whether I have already posted it, however, as the saying goes, “better late” than “forgetting to post it due to over indulgence of cheap cask-o-vinos”.

 

Was posted at LJ in April,2022, and here it is in all its uncensored glory. 

 

And before you cheapskates frugal money managers complain about the cost, they were much, much cheaper back in 2022… and even cheaper when you advantage sales… Black Friday is nigh (and day).

Boys and Girls,

 

I am trying to prevent writer's cramp by abbreviating the mouthful name from Amana Tool 55156 Carbide Tipped 82 Degree Countersink with Tapered Drill and Adjustable Depth Stop with No-Thrust BB, 3/8 D x 5/64 Drill D x 1/4 Inch Quick Release Hex SHK to the title.

 

If you profess to that infamous puzzling quote by "The Pottzy"

you should

block your ears if you decide to read further.

 

I have had my fair share of countersink drill bits, ranging from the bargain basement HSS,

one step up, loosely bought carbide tipped,

to a great set of carbide tipped with tapered drill bits (self-fitted)

(even though the box is shop made... with wooden hinge).

 

I came across these bits when I was ordering some small router bits from Tools Today.

 

They are definitely not cheap, but usually, nor is the timber that you are just about to deface to screw, without "screwing" it up.

 

Like most other countersinks, they have a simple allen key mechanism for adjusting the drill bit depth,

however, at the other end of that key,

there is a different gauge to control the actual depth of the countersink,

 

If you choose your purchase carefully, you can order the gizmo with a tapered drill bit for no extra charge.

 

The collar spins freely and will stop rotating as soon as it comes into contact with the timber surface setting the exact depth of the pre-set countersink without disfiguring the work surface.

 

Now these features may not inspire anyone that isn't discerning about what and how they screw and prefer to chant the snafu mantra and if you happen to visit my workshop, feel free to help yourself to my freebies,

by the exit door.

 

PS. For all you Fe$tool tragics, they're also distributed in CENTROTEC shafts, so 99.999937% of your tight arsed "buddies" would never need to pinch them.

 

Keep safe, jocks... and your jocks, safe!
