different makes of screw seem to have all sorts of different angles, my two hand tools match associated imperial and xray metric, but seeing as they are hand tools, others can be made to fit perfectly using deliberate innacuracy!! i always seal the holes with cyano afterwards to avoid splintering and delamination

Don't think anyone mentioned using a drill bit to countersink, that really isn't a good idea, for example a hss drill is 135 degree. To do a perfect job every time use a countersink cage.
