Countersinking Maso
Recently, countersinking meso has had me thinking. I want some way to uniformly create a perfect countersink that's right every time. Yes we have several styles of counter sink and pre-drill bits, but all require more care to get the countersink "just right" than time always permits.
So of course I turned to the internet and found out what I needed is a counter sink with a stop collar. However even the ones with a stop collar seem like they will still drill a hole too deep even at their shallowest setting. Or maybe I just haven't found the right countersink yet. So after exhausting my resource and knowledge I have to ask, what can I use to perfectly countersink drywall screws in 1/4" meso?

No, seriously, a countersink with a stop collar has always worked well for me. If you set the stop to right at the shoulder of the cutting blades it leaves you with a perfect Divet.

I don't have any stop collars in my possession, just the cheap countersinks that don't come with such things, so I wasn't sure just how shallow they can be set.

re: Countersinking Maso
You could try making a stop collar with a scrap of plastic pipe. Cut a slit in one side so it can expand, then take a worm-drive hose clamp and tighten it around the countersink bit.

Re: Countersinking Maso
The countersink bit of your choice in a properly adjusted plunge router, forming essentially a portable drill press.

Re: Countersinking Maso
I have never had much of an issue using the double sided "flip" style bits. The right one for me hits every time.
