Amana 3/8 x 2-1/8 Carbide Tipped Countersink is a countersink taper bit designed for #6 screw work, so it drills the pilot and creates the seat in one operation for consistent screw heads on cabinetry and woodworking jobs. The carbide tipped construction focuses cutting at the working edge, which supports long-term cutting performance when you are running repeated installations. The 3/8 inch size defines the countersink cutting diameter, giving a controlled recess that matches typical #6 screw head needs. The 2-1/8 inch length defines the working reach of the taper bit, which helps plan drilling depth on face frames, drawer fronts, and similar parts. The 82-degree geometry in the SAP description describes the screw head angle it matches, so the screw seats flush in standard 82-degree #6 screw applications without over-mushrooming the material.
This countersink taper bit is classified in the Countersinks product class, so it is intended to form both the tapered pilot and the countersunk seat for #6 screws in a single drilling pass. The 3/8 inch x 2-1/8 inch format defines how far the tool can work into the material, which supports layout decisions on rail, stile, and panel drilling. The 82-degree reference matches common #6 screw head geometry, helping screw heads sit neatly within the machined recess on cabinet and woodworking assemblies. The combination of tapered drilling and countersinking in one tool streamlines installation sequences where repeated #6 screw locations are required.
The Amana Tool product name and category positioning within Bits, Blades and Cutters and Countersinks and Counter Bores show that this 55622 model is intended for drilling and countersinking operations rather than general cutting. The #6 screw reference directs it to assemblies that rely on #6 fasteners, such as many cabinet components, light framing elements, and furniture subassemblies that favor that screw size. The 3/8 inch countersink diameter shapes an appropriately sized cavity for the screw head in those contexts, supporting clean, repeatable fastener presentation on face frames, trim, and other visible work. The 2-1/8 inch length suits situations where deeper pilot formation is useful, for example joining thicker stock where a shallow bit would not reach through the primary member.
The 82-degree description in the SAP text COUNTERSINK 82DEG, NO6 SCREW indicates that the countersink form matches standard 82-degree #6 screw heads that are common in woodworking and related trades, so the screw head geometry and bit geometry work together rather than fighting each other. The carbide tipped design further supports these tasks by focusing a durable cutting edge at the key working surfaces, which is significant when a shop repeats the same pilot and countersink pattern across multiple parts. Together, these details position the Amana 3/8 x 2-1/8 Carbide Tipped Countersink Taper Bit as a purpose-built option for #6 screw drilling and seating across cabinetry, furniture components, and similar woodworking projects using that screw size.
The specified 3/8 inch diameter directly affects how much material is removed around the screw head, so on #6 screw work it provides a defined pocket that keeps heads level with or slightly below the surface instead of leaving irregular cones. The 2-1/8 inch overall length influences drilling strategy because it sets how far the taper section can penetrate; on thicker rails or stiles this reach helps the pilot follow the screw path, reducing driving resistance and supporting more controlled assembly. The 82-degree countersink angle is a critical geometry match for #6 screws described in the SAP text, because it allows the screw head to nest evenly, promoting a firm bearing surface rather than point-loading on a mismatched cone.
The carbide tipped construction is central to performance, as the harder tip material resists wear at the leading edge where cutting loads concentrate, supporting consistent hole quality across many repetitions typical in cabinet shops and woodworking facilities. Being categorized under Countersinks and Counter Bores signals that the tool is part of a drilling system dedicated to preparing seats for fasteners, so it fits naturally into workflows that standardize on #6 screws for many joints. The manufacturer designation Amana Tool and part number 55622 help installers and purchasing staff call out the exact countersink taper bit they need, reducing mix-ups between different screw sizes or geometries when maintaining tool inventories for repeated screw-driven assemblies.
This Amana countersink taper bit is identified for #6 screw use, aligning the pilot and countersink sizing to that specific screw category in woodworking and cabinet assembly tasks.
The 3/8 inch size refers to the countersink cutting diameter, while 2-1/8 inch denotes the overall length, guiding how deep and wide the bit can form the pilot and seat.
The carbide tipped design places a hard cutting material at the working edge, supporting longer-lasting sharpness and more consistent holes during repeated #6 screw drilling operations.
The 82-degree description aligns the countersink cone with standard #6 screw head geometry, helping screw heads seat flush and evenly against the machined recess.
This countersink taper bit, classified under Countersinks, drills the pilot and forms the seat for #6 screws in one pass, simplifying repetitive fastening steps.
The Amana Tool 55622 designation uniquely identifies this 3/8 x 2-1/8 carbide tipped countersink, helping shops order the exact #6 screw bit for consistent tooling.
The Amana 3/8 x 2-1/8 Carbide Tipped Countersink Taper Bit, identified as manufacturer part 55622, gives a defined solution for #6 screw drilling and seating with an 82-degree profile. The carbide tipped cutting edges and 3/8 inch countersink diameter work together to support clean, repeatable recesses in cabinet and woodworking assemblies. The 2-1/8 inch length provides the reach needed for many common stock thicknesses that rely on #6 screws. For #6 fastener work where a dedicated countersink taper bit streamlines drilling and improves screw presentation, this Amana Tool countersink available from Wurth Baer Supply offers a focused, part-numbered option.
