How to Use a Countersink Drill Bit & Plug Cutter Set - Basic Woodworking

A good countersink and plug cutting set is a must have in my shop. I picked up this set of bits from WL Fuller after becoming frustrated with the countersink bits I was getting at the home stores that were continually breaking on me.

I snapped a big box store countersink bit last night and instantly thought of this video. Please never stop making your videos 😊

This is great hearing only useful on-spot information, not crappy BSing. Thanks a ton!

Thanks Jon! Sometimes you can't avoid using screws and hiding them is important. This was helpful.

Thank you for the video.
I bought a countersink drill bit set, without knowing what it was used for. Now I do.

I may have to checkout your recommendation on the bit set. The big box store ones I have bought are never straight and wobble.

Great simple video! This past weekend, I ordered a set of countersink bits; they are in the mail. The set I ordered is better than the junk I've been using but not as nice as yours. I'll see how I like them.

I'm waiting to see your quarantine haircut.

Brilliant video for a newbie like me! Thanks

I've just brought a set of cutters and I can't wait to try them out having never used such things before...after recently deciding to take up woodwork for a hobby...why Oh why didn't I start years ago....? better late than never they say...

Thanks Jon, I also use countersinks on almost all of the screws I run. WL Fuller went from my favorites to second place after I stated using the Amana adjustable countersinks. There not cheap, but are versatile and hold an edge longer than the others.

Excellent video. I have one quick question. How do you set the drill bit to the proper length that will correspond to the screw that you're using?
