Bruce,
Use a drill bit's tip as a countersink tool? Oh dear!
There are "real" countersink tools available that will
produce nice, even countersinking. Inquire at a
machine-tool supplier. They come in a variety of
sizes amd have a smooth conical tip with a single
round hole forming the cutting surface. The drill bit
idea, unless done very carefully by hand, is certain to
produce "three-cornered" countersinking.
I've thought of using flat or oval-head SS screws on
my K2 but I'd first want to be certain the panels are
thick enough to allow proper-depth countersinking.
