Title: Combo drill/countersink set
Post by: T*O*F on July 29, 2008, 08:40:30 PM

Enco has their combination drill/countersink sets on sale AND free shipping.  The set includes #'s 1-5 for $4.49.  These are invaluable to the home builder for countersinking various screw holes in a gun and generally do not chatter like fluted countersinks.

They do very well to prevent "drill walking" to start a hole but the angle on the body is 60 degrees to mate up with a lathe's live or dead center :). If you have wood screws with 60 degree shoulders - great - but the ones I have run across have 82 degree shoulders  :-*. But who says you can't use them :-X.

Thanks.  I ordered 2 sets at that price.  I noticed that the shipping was almost as much as the price for the 2 sets.

They've also got 82 and 90 degree sets, but I don't know if they are on sale too.
