Irwin 1882630 #4 Wood Tapered Countersink Drill Bit with Adjustable Counterbore
The Irwin 1882630 #4 Wood Tapered Countersink is designed for drilling clean, accurate pilot holes and producing smooth countersinks in wood applications. Built around a tapered high-speed steel drill bit, this tool matches the natural taper of wood screws to reduce splitting and improve holding power. Widened flutes help clear chips quickly, allowing faster drilling while maintaining clean hole walls in softwood, hardwood, plywood, and composite materials. The bit diameter is sized specifically for #4 screws, making it a dependable choice for cabinetry, trim work, furniture assembly, and general carpentry.
This countersink features an adjustable four-cutter counterbore that cuts evenly and clears material efficiently for smooth, consistent screw seating. The counterbore mounts securely to the flats on the shank using two hex screws, allowing controlled adjustment of pilot hole depth based on screw length and project requirements. A 1/4-inch quick-change hex shank reduces slipping in standard chucks and provides compatibility with all 1/4-inch quick-change systems, including impact drivers. With a compact 4-inch overall length and durable construction, this bit is suited for both shop work and on-site installation where speed and repeatable results matter.
