Amana Tool - 55229 Carbide Tipped 82° Countersink with Adjustable Depth Stop & No-

Drills very easily, very sharp. If you are looking for a countersink, this is the one you want. Theres a reason so many YouTubers recommend it. I wish the price was a little better, but its a quality made product - I think itll stay sharp for a while, so this should be the last one youll ever need (unless you want a different size). If you do a lot of cabinet building, this is excellent. As my dad says You cant work without good tools.

First one lasted 3years - not bad at all in my opinion.

This is the second one that I purchased. I bought a #8 and at the time thought it was a little pricey. After using it on a couple of projects I went ahead and bought this one, a #6, because it just works so darn well. The annoying part is figuring out which size to buy to work with which screw size. Once I bought this, I got out a Sharpie and wrote a big #6 and #8 on each one. Makes grabbing the right one so much easier.

I build a lot of painted desks out of MDF and securing them with brads and screws are just the quickest assembly process. But its always been such a pain to work quick but ensure that I dont countersink the screw hole too deep, because then it takes too much work and time to fill, dry, sand, possibly fill again, and repeat. At least on MDF, the no marring feature worked perfectly and setting the countersink to only leave 1/16 of depth when the screw is fully seated is perfect. I can now countersink everything quickly and be sure that Im hitting the perfect depth. Will buy some more of these for the #8 screw as well.

My grandson said it was just what he needed and seemed to be please with it overall.

I’m building a porch swing that needed about a hundred silicon bronze screws mounted flush with the oak surface. After messing around with an old B&D countersink bit with a collar that kept slipping, I ordered this bit. I’ve used Amana router bits with success and found this item to be no less impressive. It worked flawlessly to countersink to exact depth repeatedly. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? YES.

Use this bit in my woodworking projects.

Pros: Wiiorks well as a depth stop. Cuts fairly clean. Cons: The stop collar will mar your work and particularly for softer woods and particularly if youre not drilling perfectly perpendicular to your surface. While some have complained about the bit longevity I havent used it long enough to assess that. My biggest gripe with the bit is its too short. In my opinion youll need a longer bit for screws over 1.25 to 1.5. You could hold the collar to eliminate the initial spin that can cause marring but that concerns me somewhat for finger safety should the collar suddenly seize.

The mechanism is high quality. The thrust bearing is a little cheap. As it ships, it (may) scuff your wood. This is easily fixed by placing painters tape before drilling. The tape adds enough friction to engage the thrust bearing. Problem solved. The friction bearing may loosen up in time. Aside from that minor problem, it works flawlessly. I would buy it again.

This tool makes counter sinking screws completely controllable. Have it sit a bit proud? No problem! Flush set! Easy to do! Countersunk slightly, or deeply is not a problem. Pre-set it and go make multiple screws, set the way you want it!
