Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can Sirius countersinks handle?

Sirius countersinks are designed for use across softwood, hardwood, MDF, chipboard, plastics, aluminium, and mild steel. Always select the appropriate countersink style for your material and use correct speeds to maximise tool life and finish quality.

How do I achieve consistent countersink depth?

For uniform results, use a depth stop on your drill or consider a countersink cage attachment. Mark your desired depth on the drill bit with tape, or invest in an adjustable countersink bit holder for repetitive professional work.

Can Sirius countersinks be resharpened?

Whilst possible with specialist equipment, the cost-effective pricing of Sirius countersinks generally makes replacement more economical than resharpening. Proper use at appropriate speeds will maximise their working life before replacement becomes necessary.
