So... any words of advice on counterbores?


Are there any overwhelming advantages to the fixed pilot counterbores?


After some deliberation I decided to pick up a set of each. I considered
also a metric set, but decided for the most part I could use the
replaceable
pilot set with custom turned pilots if necessary.


Metric flathead fasteners have a different cone angle (90 degrees) as
opposed to
SAE (82 degrees). It might matter.


Counterbore. Not countersink.
