🔝 Optimized Timberline 608 114 Release Countersink with Enhanced Diameter Review

I use it almost every day. This is by far the best wood sinker for the money. I have a few others that I use on metal, but mainly because this one has lasted over a year with little wear on the cut surface. I will recommend them to the guys on my job page!

I have used high speed steel countersinks on the oak furniture I make. HSS wears out after 100 holes. I've used these carbide countersinks for over 1000 holes and haven't noticed any wear. However, carbide is brittle and will chip if you hit metal (another screw or a broken drill bit). You just have to be careful and they last forever.

They stay sharp much longer than steel tools and I hate sharpening them. The only caveat I would like to make is that since the tips are carbide you need to be careful when storing them as their hardness makes them easy to break! Don't just toss it in your toolbox or it won't last a week. Find a small container to store it when not in use!
