FTG USA Countersink Drill Bit Set 5 Pc – Tapered Woodworking Bits for #4 #6 #8 #10 #12 with 1/4" Hex Shank

Overview

Meet the FTG USA Countersink Drill Bit Set 5 pc, engineered to help woodworkers create clean countersinks, accurate pilot holes, and neat counter-bores. Each bit features a reliable 1/4" hex shank for quick changes, designed to perform across soft and hard woods. The set covers common screw sizes and aims to deliver controlled holes and tidy screw fits, all while maintaining a simple, efficient workflow on the jobsite.

What’s in the set

This 5-piece collection is scaled for common timber projects, with bits sized to predrill pilot holes for screws in the #4 through #12 range. You’ll find a practical combination of countersinking, drilling, and counter-boring in a single, streamlined tool set. Note that a depth stop is not included, so plan your approach and protect your work surface as you go.

• Five bits in sizes #4, #6, #8, #10, and #12 designed for wood screws
• 1/4" hex shank enables fast tool changes and compatibility with standard drill drivers
• One-step operation combination: countersink, drill pilot hole, and counter-bore where needed

Material and build

Built from robust HSS M2 grade steel, these bits balance durability and precision. The design emphasizes efficient chip flow with a wider flute profile, helping to keep the drilling action smooth and minimize clogging in both soft and hard woods. The bits arrive pre-oiled to reduce friction and support longer service life between replacements.

• HSS M2 grade steel for lasting performance
• Wider flute geometry improves chip removal
• Pre-oiled/lubed for smoother operation

Use cases and benefits

Ideal for cabinetry, shelving, picture frames, and DIY furniture where flush countersinks and clean pilot holes matter. Expect a snug screw fit when the pilot hole aligns with the countersink diameter, helping to reduce walking and splitting during assembly. While results vary with material, these bits are designed to support a steady, confident drilling experience.

Designed in Bloomfield, New Jersey by Fair Trade Group USA and manufactured to FTG USA specs, the set prioritizes practical woodworking workflows and reliable performance on the shop floor.

Practical tips

• Lubricate as needed and drill with steady, even pressure for best results
