I enjoy how the tool works smoothly and very clean drilling.
The hole and countersink were perfect. I have not had a tool like this prior and am very happy with it!

Adding to my set of three
I already have the three sizes that are larger than this and wanted to get the next smallest size. I use these Insty bits all of the time.

Deck looks great
We use this tool when replacing boards on our wood deck, and misplaced it during our last project. Gave this to my Honey-Do with other items for XMas so we are ready when our next project comes up.

Counter sink bit
I was working with a very hard wood and burning two brand name counter sink bits a day. I tried the higher end Rockler counter sink bit and replacement bit and I have replaced the drill bit and still working with the original counter sink. Well worth the extra few $$. 80 feet of 250 feet of a hardwood fence to go.

Tim Z on Feb 20, 2017
As a cabinetmaker for profit, my screws must go in smoothly. This combo has proven itself. The bits do break so spares are good to have.

I've used Rockler/Insty-Drive tapered drill bits for over 20 years in the Industrial Arts program I teach and I've never found anything better. If/when the tapered bits break (as they often do with student use) I can replace them with a standard twist drill and just keep going! To clarify, we only use these for drilling the clearance hole and countersinking/counterboring.
Craig on Jan 2, 2017
Easier to order via rockler then other site.
Pete N on Nov 18, 2016
Thought they would be better than my old units which mount on the drill bit but instead the bevel portion mounts on the drill bit and has the possibility to turn in hard woods. The body should be one unit and the bit adjusts in and out

I use a lot of screws in woodworking and these make a good pilot hole and countersink.

Purchased set a week ago. Saw the individual bits on sale and purchased due to reviews I read re: set screws not holding and also smaller bit breakage. Extras will be used when bits in set fail.

Are the bit size #'s the same as screw size?
A shopper on Jul 5, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes
What size countersink holes do these bits make? I want to make sure I buy the correct size plug cutter.
sdnalloh on Aug 6, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The # refers to the screw size. We have #5, #6, #8, #10 and #12
What is the counter bore diameter for plugs 1/2 or 3/8?
Paul G on Apr 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I miked my #5, #6, #8, and #10 Insty-Drive Countersink bits to verify countersink diameter; they all measure 3/8".
Is this drill & countersink suitable for aluminum?
James D on Jun 2, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Probably, never tried it. Would definitely dull sooner than with wood.
I have a large bag of 3/8th tapered plugs I was given. What size countersink will I need to use these 3/8th plugs?
Chris r on Nov 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: You would use the 3/8 countersink. Since you have "tapered" plugs you will need to make sure the holes are deep enough to make the plugs fit tighjtly. You migh consider buying a set of counter sinks to give you an assortment of countger sink options.
What do # indicate speaking "metric"? - Screw size #5, e.g. doesn't ring a bell for me (I'm from Europe.).
Johannes on Aug 27, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Drill bit is 1/8 inch .... counter sink is 3/8 inch ... perfect for wooden plugs over screw head. Hope this helps..Jack
What is the counter bore diameter of #8 tapered bit/ countersink #59947?
Mark H on Feb 1, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The #8 tapered drill bit I have has a shank diameter of 11/64" The counter sink diameter is 3/8 ". If you are using this with the intent of plugging your counter sunk holws you will need a 3/8 " plug cutter, Enjoy
I have 1/2 inch plugs is there a drill bit that will dril both screw and plug holes ?
