Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can Blue Spot countersinks handle?

Blue Spot countersinks are suitable for wood, plastics, aluminium, and other softer metals. For hardened steel or stainless steel applications, consider specialist cobalt or carbide-tipped alternatives designed for harder materials.

What's the difference between a countersink and a counterbore?

A countersink creates a conical recess for flush-fitting flat-head screws, whilst a counterbore produces a flat-bottomed cylindrical hole allowing screw heads to sit below the surface. Blue Spot countersinks are designed for the conical recess applications.

Can I use Blue Spot countersinks in both hand drills and power drills?

Yes, Blue Spot countersinks work with both manual hand drills and electric power drills. For power drill use, maintain moderate speeds and avoid excessive pressure to prevent overheating and ensure longer tool life.
