Anytime Tools 5 Center Drill Countersink Lathe Bit Mill Tooling Set

Affordable, and durable for me. Works great.

I bought these in 2020. I assumed they would last long enough to get my $12 out of them. The only complaint after all this time and use- is the box could be better. The space above the dividers is large enough to let the 2 small sizes float around inside the box. A piece of 1/4" poly packing foam hot glued to the lid fixed that permanently. I was impressed with their appearance when they first arrived. They looked well made. They seemed sharp with good concenticity. I've since used them many many times over the 3 years I've had them. I use them in the drill press, mill, and lathe. I've used them mostly as they're intended in steel, aluminum, and some stainless, that is- as center drills. I have used them to countersink a few times in aluminum. They are still sharp and intact. With appropriate feed rate (which is SLOW at the start- let them do their thing) they don't skip or skate, even on stainless. One of the best buys I've ever made in tooling. Worth far more than the $12 I paid for them.

Good product.

I'm impressed with how well the center drills have worked on my lathe. I've used them mostly on mild steel and some aluminum. They work so well with my lathe I decided to get a second set for my drill press so I don't need to borrow from the lathe tool set when I'm at the drill press. After lots of holes in mild steel they still seem as sharp as ever. I find that I generally use the number three the most. That just seems to be a convenient size for tail support as well as most drilling starts.

Nice to have tool

well made and works great. no problems.

This was better than expected for me because I didnt think they'd cut thru steel but they do, also they are made with m2 which is a couple percent cobalt so that's good but I was surprised that they cut thru better than my m42 which is 8% cobalt steel drill bits , so I've been using them to make initial bores into tuff ass steel , like grade 5 and grade 8 bolts which is super dense. And as far as for countersinking they obviously work great and for the price I'm gonna keep buying them as long as they last a while. Oh yeah and I used these on my drill press, it was a little tuff getting them centered as to not wiggle but no big deal.

Just bought these to help create starter holes in aluminum I need to drill so as to avoid some chatter from some of my drill bits that have a hard time unless they have a pilot hole to start with. These center drills are quite dull and takes some effort to get even the pilot to drill into the aluminum.
