My countersinks look like I sent them out to be polished. Is it time to sharpen or replace? Can the counter sink flutes be sharpened?
I've used the Rockler Insty-Drive for at least twenty years. Some things I have appreciated:
replaceable tapered bit with flat surface for Allen set screw
adjustable depth countersink with two Allen set screws
adjustable depth of bit (have not used this a lot, but was very important when I did)
Disadvantage $$$$$ Separately $19.95
You get what you pay for...right? Most likely, I will not change, but I really want to hear from the WN Brain Trust.
Amazon offers at least five brands of 5 bit sets for less than one Rockler countersink:
Ideashop $14.84
Rokrou $14.39
Saipe $13.99
FTG don't remember
WL Fuller don't remember
I looked at the Lee Valley set; kinda pricey, but I like the 1/4" shafts offered on the other sets.
At my age, this will likely be the last time I will visit this subject, so let me hear what you have to offer.
