Review on πŸ” Discover the Versatile DEWALT DW2712 No 10 Replacement Countersink by Chris Cruz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's not working well for me.

Of course I'm an amateur. But I've used countersinks with Vermont American before. Very good but they are worn out and the set screw on one of them has frozen. I bought this Dewalt without reservation. Everything I buy from Dewalt is of the highest quality. I replace them with Vermont American after one use! Immediately I saw the vibration of the drill bit in the drill press. Less wobble when using a drill shank instead of a hex shank. The hole will not be accurate with wobble (more than I would like). So I used a standard bit to drill a hole and then took the bit out of the countersink to create a footprint for a flush wood screw. The countersink wasn't perfectly stable, but it was usable. The only problem is that it crashed into the wood (high quality plywood) too aggressively and left a sub-optimal impression. I can live with that, but I'm not happy. I will not use them again. I wouldn't even give them to a friend because most of my friends don't use these things and it would be worse for them.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
