I'm tired of using crappy countersink bits. My craftsman set dulled out this week, I had to struggle and break a drill to finish a hot job. Looking for a good set that is intended for metal. I will be using them mostly on hot and cold rolled steel, sometimes cast iron or aluminum.... wood on rare occasions.
First off it seems I want carbide instead of HSS...
I found a few: Sun Pro, Ultra tools, and the Irwin set (which I ordered)
I am assuming 6 flute is better for metal?
Also noticed there are varying degrees. I would think 60 or even 82 is fine, 100 might be a little much. I will be setting in various flat screws: drywall, machine, brass, etc...
The above mentioned companies seem legit and based out of Huntington Beach, CA....Which I know has a pretty robust manufacturing/industrial district.
Anyways, just looking for some input and opinions on brands, flutes and angles...
