Countersink
Drill Size Chart
This chart below is designed to help you get the proper set-up for using a countersink and match it with either a Taper Point bit or a Straight bit. First you must select the Screw Size that you are working with down the Left side of the chart. Then find the corresponding column as you decide upon a Tapered or Straight Drill bit and whether the wood is a hardwood or a softwood.
