Good bits, but read on….

I just purchased a set of four of these from Home Depot for less than the cost of this one. They are 6, 8, 10, and 12.The picture shows the bit fully extended, which is adjusted through the use of a small allen wrench (not included).It does a find job of cutting clean divots, but I am not a fine woodworker yet, so my standards may not be as exacting as some. If you have the DeWalt or Stanley 1/4″ quick change adaptor, it will fit in there as well, as you can tell from the narrowing of the collar 1/2 inch up the stem.

Alright, but a somewhat flawed idea.
If you move the countersink up the bit, it will be slightly offcenter/wobbly. I don’t need a 2.5″ hole for a 1.25″ #8 screw, so I moved the countersink up the bit. If you move the countersink further up the bit, the bit will eventually snap; that took me two days.

Had the same issue with the Bosch countersink set as well; odds are, you’re not supposed to move the countersink unless you’re moving it to another bit.

That said, works as expected. Replaced the bit with a $2 Vermont American 11/64ths, instead of the tapered Dewalt $11 replacement.

In any case, the #6, #8, and #10 come bundled in a three-pack at Home Depot that’s cheaper than I could find anywhere online.
