How to use

Install the STANLEY countersink bit into a compatible drill chuck or hex bit holder and secure it firmly. Align the bit with the fastener location and drill at a steady, moderate speed to create the recess; avoid excessive feed pressure to prevent overcutting or wood splitting. Check the depth periodically by fitting the screw to ensure the head will sit flush or at the desired depth, then perform the final fastening operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the bit with appropriate pilot drilling when working with hardwoods, and reduce speed when approaching the final depth. Wear eye protection and follow standard safety practices when operating power tools.
