Thanks. I would have never thought to mark the bevels. Same garage sale a=
s the files, I bought 2 magnifying lamps, for $1 each. Here's my chance to=
use one.=20
Seated, aye? So, that allows for a beer, also, right?

I bought one of these a few years back and can attest to its
effectiveness.

Is there an easy way to sharpen a countersink's edges? I have several old ones, with 7 (small ones) and 10 flutes each.

I think a couple of the files are diamond files. They were a clock repairman's tools. I've used them to file hand/auger drill bits, but their edges are more accessible than the countersinks' edges.

Strong light, 3x reading glasses. Blue the bevel with a
Sharpie. Most jewelers recommend filing while seated,
not standing.

I've found that ones with an odd number of flutes work best.
The six fluted ones tend to make a hex shaped sink.
