Metallics CS38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size countersink is the Metallics CS38 bit?
The CS38 is a 3/8 inch countersink bit with a single flute, sold one piece per pouch. The 3/8 inch size refers to the cutting head diameter, which sets the maximum width of the chamfer it cuts, so it suits screw heads up to roughly that diameter.
2) Single flute vs multi-flute countersink: which should an electrician use?
A single flute countersink like the CS38 clears chips out of one large opening, which keeps it from chattering in softer material and makes it easy to resharpen. Multi-flute versions leave a finer finish in hard metal but tend to grab in wood and plastic. For general electrical and panel work where you are chamfering holes for flat head screws, the single flute is the usual pick.
3) What is the Metallics CS38 bit actually used for on an electrical job?
It cuts the tapered recess that lets a flat head screw sit flush instead of standing proud, and it also deburrs drilled holes in sheet metal enclosures and strut so wire pulled through does not get nicked. It is cataloged by Metallics as an electrical supply item for exactly that kind of panel and box work.
4) Will the CS38 countersink chuck into a standard drill?
Countersink bits in this class carry a straight round shank that grips in any standard three-jaw drill chuck, corded or cordless. For repeat production work in a quick-change holder you would want a hex-shank version instead.
