Put on safety glasses while you’re drilling to protect your eyes in case the cutter breaks or comes loose.

Spread wood putty over the screw and hole if you want to hide them. Wood putty has a clay-like consistency, but it hardens to mimic the texture and grain of the wood. Scoop wood putty out of the container with a putty knife and press it into the countersink hole over the screw. Pull the putty knife in multiple directions over the hole to make sure it fills in evenly. Scrape off any excess putty with the knife and return it to the container.

Open the jaws of the calipers wide enough so you can put the screw between them. Tighten the jaws around the main shaft of the screw, but not on the threading, which is the raised area that rotates around the screw. Read the measurement on the side of the calipers to know the diameter of the screw’s shaft. [1] X Research source

How to Countersink a Screw | The Art of Manliness How to Countersink a Screw | The Art of Manliness

Instead of using a drill bit that both drills the pilot hole and creates a countersink divot, you can opt to make a pilot hole with a regular drill bit and then swap your bit for a countersink drill bit to create the countersink. Once that’s done, switch the drill bit for a screw bit and screw in your screw. Secure a fluted countersink cutter in your drill that’s the same size as your screw. A fluted countersink cutter has a wider base that comes to a point and contains multiple cutting edges so you can make larger holes for the screw’s head. [6] X Expert Source Josh Goldenberg Drill the pilot hole so it’s the same depth as the screw length. Hold the drill so the bit is perpendicular to the wood. Press down on the drill’s trigger to start making your hole. Apply light pressure to push the bit deeper into the wood until it reaches the same depth as your screw. Let go of the trigger and pull the bit straight out so you don’t damage it.

It won’t even look like you have a screw there. The Second Easiest Way: Use a Separate Countersink Drill Bit

Swap out the bit for a drill bit that’s slightly larger than your screw head. Drill a shallow divot into your pilot hole so that the screw head can sit just below the surface. Use your drill to secure the screw in the hole until the top is flush. Remove the countersink cutter from the end of your drill and replace it with a screwdriver bit. Position the point of the screw so it lines up with your pilot hole and put the screwdriver bit into the slots on top. Pull the trigger to slowly drive the screw into the hole until it’s level with the wood surface.

The easiest way to countersink a screw is to buy a drill bit that drills a pilot hole and creates the countersink divot at the same time. Clamp the wood down to secure it. Set the wood on a flat, well-lit work surface so you can easily see what you’re doing. Open the jaws of your C-clamp and secure them around the piece of wood you're drilling into. Tighten the jaws on the clamp to secure the piece of wood so it doesn’t rotate or shift while you’re trying to drill into it.

Skill of the Week: How to Emergency RappelWhen drilling a screw into softwoods, like pine boards, you can indeed get the screw to go below the surface, but it typically chews up the wood at its entry point, leaving you with a rough finish. Countersinking your pilot hole prevents that chewed-up look from happening. If you’re ready to give your wood projects a bit of extra polish, here’s how to countersink a screw. How to Countersink a Screw The Easiest Way: Use a Countersink Drill Bit Adjust the countersink drill bit to match the length of your screw. You use an Allen wrench to do this.

Mark the location you’re drilling with the end of your screw. Put a dot on the piece of wood with a pen or pencil where you want to make your hole. Then take the pointed end of your screw and push it lightly into the surface to make a small dent. The dent will give the drill a good starting point so it doesn’t slip or shift while you’re making your hole. [4] X Research source
