@scalabration Just remember to have your drill in reverse when you do this & you should be fine. Swirl the bit around the hole & be careful not to jump the hole. Whenever I'm in a bind, & don't have a countersink bit with me, or the right size countersink bit, I do this little trick & presto. Joe :0
@TorqueRider2000 I've never broken a bit yet. It's important to put your drill in "reverse" when attempting this. I wouldn't do this all the time, as a rule......but it works when you don't happen to have a countersink bit with you.....or the exact size countersink bit. Would I do this if I was building a piano?......NO lol! :0
@TorqueRider2000 I intentionally did not prepare to use a countersink bit since I wanted to show what to do if you didn't have one or forgot to bring one with you. Anyone can be a "joeguyver"........it's what I want you to think about next time you get in a bind.....as there's always two (or 3) ways to do something. Be creative & get'er done! What would've happened if you forgot your countersink bit at home?....what would you have done? Not finished the job? "Joe" doesn't want that. :0
@sidecarbilly It might not be a conventional way to countersink a hole but if you don't have a countersink bit handy, this will do. That's why I showed it. It works in a pinch. If you didn't know how to do this & did not have a countersink bit readily available.....what would "you" do? Thanks for your comments. Joe :0
Don't you risk tearing out the hardwood with this technique? Hardwood usually is used for surfaces that show.

why not prepare for a job. The right tools makes things so much easyer.
