I seem to remember being taught in school that metric countersunk Allen

countersinking bit for both, as here in the UK no one seems to stock 82
degree bits for ferrous material? Thanks.


You can't resharpen the drill bit to any angle you want?

Isn't that what bench grinders, hands, eyes and brains are for?
