Amana #8 Countersink 3/8 x 2-1/8 is a carbide tipped countersink from Amana Tool designed to drill a pilot hole and tapered countersink for wood screws. This #8 screw countersink creates the pilot and the tapered seat in one step, so wood screws drive cleanly and sit properly. The 3/8 x 2-1/8 size defines the cutting profile and length, giving a consistent countersink geometry for repeatable work across a run of parts. The quick release design speeds bit changes, keeping this countersink ready when moving between operations. As part of the countersinks class in the bits, blades and cutters category, it serves as the dedicated tool for clean screw seating rather than a general-purpose drill bit, supporting more professional results on finished faces.
The web description notes that this quick release countersink drills the pilot hole and tapered countersink for wood screws in one operation, consolidating two steps into one pass. That combined action helps maintain alignment between pilot and seat, so wood screws track straight into hardwood, plywood, or plastics. The quick release function further supports the drilling workflow by allowing rapid removal and installation of the countersink, which is useful when alternating between this tool and other bits in a sequence. Because it is classified under countersinks and counter bores, users can rely on it specifically for creating the screw seating geometry rather than general drilling, improving panel and face work where visible screw heads matter.
The product is described as a quick release countersink that drills a pilot hole and tapered countersink for wood screws, so it is intended wherever wood screws are used in wood-related assemblies. The carbide tipped design is specified for long lasting results in hardwood, plywood, and plastics, aligning it with cabinetry, casework, fixtures, and similar tasks that use these materials. Because it is identified as a #8 screw countersink, it targets installations relying on #8 wood screws as a primary fastener size. In hardwood and plywood, that matching geometry supports secure fastening while controlling surface appearance, and in plastics it provides a tapered seat that helps distribute load around the screw head.
The Amana #8 Countersink 3/8 x 2-1/8 size specification defines a 3/8 cutting profile with a 2-1/8 length, giving a repeatable countersink shape and reach every time it is used. That repeatability supports consistent screw head depth across multiple parts, reducing variation that can show on visible faces. The quick release feature described for this countersink allows it to be attached and removed quickly from compatible holders, which reduces downtime when shifting between drilling, driving, and countersinking steps. As a carbide tipped countersink, it maintains its cutting profile longer in hardwood, plywood, and plastics, supporting reliable hole quality and screw seating over many cycles in production or installation work.
The Amana #8 Countersink 3/8 x 2-1/8 is described for long lasting results in hardwood, plywood, and plastics, so it is suited to these common cabinet and woodworking materials.
The #8 screw designation indicates this countersink drills a pilot hole and tapered seat sized for #8 wood screws, helping those screws drive correctly and sit properly in the workpiece.
The quick release description indicates this countersink is intended for rapid bit changes, which supports efficient transitions between drilling, driving, and countersinking steps in a workflow.
The 3/8 x 2-1/8 size defines the countersink profile and length, helping users anticipate depth, reach, and screw head seating geometry across repeated operations.
The carbide tipped construction is described for long lasting results in hardwood, plywood, and plastics, supporting sustained sharpness and consistent hole quality over extended use.
This product is specified as a quick release countersink that drills both a pilot hole and tapered countersink for wood screws, so it shapes the screw seat rather than only drilling a straight hole.
The Amana #8 Countersink 3/8 x 2-1/8, manufacturer part 55264, is presented as a quick release, carbide tipped countersink dedicated to #8 wood screws in hardwood, plywood, and plastics. When a project depends on accurate pilot holes and a consistent tapered screw seat, this countersink offers a defined 3/8 x 2-1/8 geometry and material-focused design. For professional installers and serious woodworkers working with #8 wood screws in these materials, this tool aligns drilling and seating needs into a single countersinking step.
