Default Countersink kit

Hey all,

I'm looking at buying some countersinks and wanted to make sure that this is what I need for the -14A. Is this the type of countersink I need? Thanks.

Thanks. My plan is to buy the countersink with the 4 bits and then buy 3 more countersinks so I can "set it and forget it".

You will be adjusting them. Sometimes it is to countersink for a rivet, sometimes it is to countersink for a dimpled skin and a rivet.

I bought the Isham Tool Kit. I like it but I'd add a second #40 male dimple die as you have to modify one for the elevator trailing edge. After that it made some ugly marks on my parts so I had to buy a second one. Also I'd add a second #40 counter sink bit because you also have to modify the counter sink pilot when countersinking the elevator trailing edge.

Apart from that I really hate countersinking because the results are not really consistent - don't know if it's me or the tool.
