I'd like to replace a burned up countersink. What angle is most useful
for general work? 6-flute cobalt sound good?



82 degrees for UN flat heads, 90 degrees for metric. I prefer the Ford
type single flute c'sinks for general use.

Thanks, gentlemen. I ended up getting the hi-alloy HSS M.A. Ford
single flute type in each of the 3 angles. Works nicely.
