Fascia Counter Sinking Drill Bit
What It Is
Deckorators 3/4‑in Fascia Tool is a specialized drilling and countersinking bit designed specifically for installing fascia boards (the trim pieces along the edge of a deck).
Purpose
- It pre-drills and creates a countersink in Deckorators fascia boards so the head of the fastener (screw) sits flush with the surface — creating a clean, finished look.
- The finished hole also helps the board expand and contract with temperature changes without overstressing or cracking.
Key Design Features
- Free-spinning stop collar: Prevents damage or marring to the fascia surface as you drill.
- Pre-set countersink diameter and depth: Matches the fascia screw head size so you get consistent, flush installations without guesswork.
- Debris cavity: Helps clear wood chips and keeps the countersink clean while drilling.
- Pre-set shaft length: Works with fascia boards that are typically between ½″ and ¾″ thick.
Typical Use
- This tool is used before driving the actual fascia screws. You drill a pilot hole with this bit so the screw will sit properly and won’t split or damage the board. It’s essentially part of a “fascia fastening system” that helps ensure clean, professional deck edges.
About this product...
A fascia counter sinking drill bit is used to create a depression in the Deckorators fascia so that the head of a fastener is flush with the surface. This is done by creating a shallow hole with a bevel or countersink at the bottom. The size of the countersink is determined by the diameter of the fastener head.
