Irwin 1882781 9/64″ #6 Wood Tapered Countersink Drill Bit with Adjustable Counterbore
The Irwin 1882781 #6 Wood Tapered Countersink Drill Bit is designed for clean, accurate pilot holes and smooth countersinking in wood applications. Built with a tapered high-speed steel drill bit, it matches the profile of #6 wood screws to help reduce splitting while improving fastener holding strength. The widened flutes clear chips efficiently, allowing faster drilling and cleaner results in softwood, hardwood, plywood, and composite materials commonly used in construction and woodworking projects.
This model includes an adjustable four-cutter counterbore that produces even, smooth countersinks while clearing debris quickly for consistent screw seating. The counterbore attaches securely to the flats on the shank using two hex screws and can be adjusted to control pilot hole depth based on screw length and material thickness. A 1/4-inch quick-change hex shank reduces slipping in standard drill chucks and is fully compatible with all 1/4-inch quick-change systems, including impact drivers. With a compact 4-inch length and durable construction, this countersink is well suited for both shop work and jobsite use where speed, accuracy, and repeatability are required.
