Product Description
Milwaukee #6 Countersink with 9/64 in. Pilot Bit
Model Number: 48-13-5000
The Milwaukee 48-13-5000 is a #6 Countersink with a 9/64 in. Pilot Bit — a combination countersink and pilot drill for preparing the correct hole geometry for #6 wood screws in a single drilling operation. The 9/64 in. pilot drill creates the clearance hole that allows the #6 screw's shank to advance without splitting the wood, while the countersink reamer simultaneously creates the conical seat that allows the #6 flathead screw to sit flush with or below the wood surface for the clean, professional appearance of properly countersunk fasteners. Preparing the correct hole in a single pass with the combination countersink tool is faster than using a separate pilot drill and countersink bit in sequence — reducing the number of tool changes and drilling operations during production cabinet installation, trim fastening, and general wood construction work.
The #6 countersink is the light-duty standard in the countersink range — used for small trim screws, thin panel fastening, light furniture hardware, and the fine woodworking applications where the #6 screw size provides adequate holding without overdriving and splitting thinner wood stock. Milwaukee manufactures the countersink from quality tool steel for sustained sharpness through production wood fastening use. Available individually or in the 3-piece set (48-13-5003) with #8 and #10 for complete coverage of standard wood screw sizes.
