Product Description
Milwaukee #8 Countersink with 11/64 in. Pilot Bit
Model Number: 48-13-5001
The Milwaukee 48-13-5001 is a #8 Countersink with an 11/64 in. Pilot Bit — a combination countersink and pilot drill for preparing the correct hole geometry for #8 wood screws in a single drilling operation. The 11/64 in. pilot drill creates the shank clearance hole that prevents wood splitting as the #8 screw drives, while the countersink reamer creates the conical seat that allows the #8 flathead screw to sit flush or below the wood surface for a clean finished appearance. The #8 is the most commonly used wood screw size across cabinet installation, furniture building, and general wood construction — making the #8 countersink the most frequently used specification in the standard countersink range. The single-pass combination preparation is faster than sequential pilot drilling and countersinking, reducing the number of tool changes during production cabinet and furniture fastening work.
Milwaukee manufactures the #8 countersink from quality tool steel for the cutting geometry and hardness needed to maintain sharp, consistent countersink angles through many holes per shift in hardwood, plywood, and MDF. The 11/64 in. pilot provides the correct clearance for standard #8 wood screw shank diameters across the range of #8 screws used in construction and woodworking. Available individually for single-size purchasing or in the 3-piece set (48-13-5003) with #6 and #10 for complete standard screw size coverage.
