I need to countersink / countersunk load of hole the same depth and was wondering what tool can i use.

Answer 1

once you countersink a s***w it has been countersunk.

Answer 2

'Countersunk' is simply the past tense of 'countersink'

You can buy special countersink bits for wood in most shops that sell tools. If you want to do countersinking in metal, you may need to go t an engineers' supply shop.

Answer 3

Only difference is "tense"

There are inexpensive kits that come w/ various sizes of countersink bits  that also have a pilot drill as well  as driving bits.

Can also buy the bits "loose" for the size s***w you need countersunk.

Best regards

Answer 5

The above is correct - or you can also use a debt gauge on your drill

Answer 6

Past tense.

"countersink"=verb

Answer 7

Countersunk is the description of a hole that has received this type of machining. Countersink is the description of a treatment that is to be applied to a hole so that after it's done it then becomes countersunk.

Perhaps a little difficult for some people to comprehend, but I still hear actors in the soaps using "them" instead of "those", peoples belongings are frequently referred to as "them" when they should be "those", it's only the people themselves that should be described as "them"

Still what can you expect when teachers are trained to instill PC into children before they are taught the basics of the English language.
