Festool BSTA HS D 3,5 CE Drill Countersink 3.5mm with Adjustable Depth Stop

At a Glance: 3.5 mm CENTROTEC drill countersink with adjustable drilling and countersinking depth for accurate drilling and countersinking in a single working step.

The Festool BSTA HS D 3,5 CE is a precision drill countersink designed to make neat, repeatable countersunk screw holes quickly and efficiently. Instead of drilling a pilot hole and countersinking it as two separate operations, this clever CENTROTEC accessory performs both tasks in a single pass. The adjustable drilling depth and individually adjustable countersinking depth make it particularly useful where a consistent, professional finish is important, especially on visible screw connections. A freely rotating depth stop helps protect the workpiece surface while maintaining excellent repeat accuracy. Designed for use in materials including wood, aluminium, acrylic and mineral material, the BSTA HS D 3,5 CE is an excellent choice for furniture manufacture, kitchen fitting, installation and general assembly work.

Drill and countersink in one precise operation

The BSTA HS D 3,5 CE combines a replaceable 3.5 mm drill bit, countersink and adjustable depth stop into one compact CENTROTEC accessory. This saves time, reduces tool changes and makes it easier to reproduce the same countersink depth across multiple screw holes, helping achieve a clean and consistent finish throughout the job.

Product highlights

Two operations in one: Drills the pilot hole and forms the countersink during the same working step.
Repeatable depth control: Adjustable drilling and countersinking depths make consistent results easier across multiple holes.
Surface-friendly depth stop: The freely rotating stop helps prevent marking or damaging the face of the workpiece.
Adjustable for different screw heads: Countersinking depth can be individually set to suit the required screw-head seating depth.
Replaceable drill bit: The central drill bit can be replaced when worn, extending the useful life of the complete countersink assembly.
CENTROTEC compatible: Designed for rapid accessory changes within the Festool CENTROTEC system.
Multi-material capability: Suitable for drilling and countersinking in wood, aluminium, acrylic and mineral material.

Product Compatibility

Festool cordless drills: For compatible Festool cordless drills equipped with FastFix tool reception and a WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck.
Festool cordless percussion drills: Suitable for compatible models fitted with FastFix tool reception and the WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck.
CENTROTEC system: Fully integrated into the Festool CENTROTEC quick-change drilling and screwdriving system.
Replacement drill bit: Compatible with Festool EB-BSTA D 3,5/5 replacement drill bit, Festool order number 494445.

CENTROTEC compatibility

This accessory is designed for Festool machines using FastFix tool reception together with the WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck. Confirm that your drill or percussion drill is equipped with the correct Festool CENTROTEC interface before ordering.

Features

3.5 mm drilling diameter: Suitable for precise pilot-hole drilling for many common screw applications.
Integrated countersink: Forms the screw-head recess immediately after drilling the pilot hole.
Adjustable drilling depth: Allows the drilling depth to be matched to the required screw length and application.
Adjustable countersinking depth: Helps set the screw head flush, slightly recessed or to the depth required for the job.
Freely rotating depth stop: Contacts the workpiece without rotating against the surface, helping reduce the risk of marking.
Exchangeable drill bit: The central bit can be replaced independently when required.
CENTROTEC connection: Enables fast accessory changes between drilling, countersinking and screwdriving tasks.

Benefits

Faster workflow: Combining drilling and countersinking into one operation saves time compared with changing between separate drilling and countersinking tools.
Consistent visible screw fittings: Adjustable depth control makes it easier to achieve uniform screw-head positioning across cabinets, furniture and fitted components.
Reduced surface marking: The freely rotating depth stop is designed to help protect finished material surfaces.
Lower replacement cost: The drill bit can be replaced separately rather than replacing the entire drill countersink when the bit eventually wears.
Excellent system efficiency: CENTROTEC compatibility allows rapid transitions between drilling, countersinking and driving operations.

Application

Drilling and countersinking visible screw holes in a single pass.
Furniture manufacture.
Kitchen fitting and cabinet installation.
Joinery and interior fit-out work.
General assembly work.
Drilling and countersinking wood.
Drilling and countersinking aluminium.
Drilling and countersinking acrylic.

Extra Information

BSTA: Festool designation for this drill countersink assembly with depth control.
HS: Identifies the high-speed steel drilling component used in the assembly.
D 3,5: Identifies the 3.5 mm drilling diameter.
CE: Identifies compatibility with the Festool CENTROTEC system.
Replacement drill bit: Festool EB-BSTA D 3,5/5, order number 494445, can be fitted when the original drill bit becomes worn.

Why use a drill countersink?

A drill countersink creates the pilot hole and the screw-head recess in one operation. This is particularly valuable when preparing a series of visible screw connections because it saves time while helping maintain a consistent appearance from one fixing point to the next.

Why is the depth stop freely rotating?

A conventional rotating stop can rub against the face of the workpiece and leave unwanted marks. The freely rotating depth stop on the BSTA HS D 3,5 CE is designed to contact the surface without spinning against it, helping protect delicate or already finished material surfaces.

Why adjustable countersinking depth matters

Different screw heads and applications require different countersink depths. The adjustable design allows the user to fine-tune the recess so the screw head can sit flush with the surface or at the specific depth required for the application.

The CENTROTEC advantage

Festool CENTROTEC provides a compact, lightweight and fast tool-changing system for drilling and screwdriving accessories. With the BSTA HS D 3,5 CE fitted to a compatible CENTROTEC tool chuck, the user can quickly switch between drilling, countersinking and screwdriving accessories without working through a conventional drill chuck every time.

Pro Tips

Set the drilling and countersinking depths on an offcut before starting on the finished workpiece.
Use an actual screw from the job when setting the countersink depth so the screw head finishes exactly where required.
Do not force the countersink against the workpiece once the depth stop has made contact.
Keep the drill bit and countersinking edges clean for the best cutting performance.
Replace the central drill bit when it becomes blunt rather than continuing to work with excessive feed pressure.
For repetitive cabinet or furniture work, retain the same depth setting to produce consistent screw seating across the complete project.

How to Use

Fit the BSTA HS D 3,5 CE into the compatible Festool CENTROTEC tool chuck.
Adjust the drill projection to obtain the required drilling depth.
Set the countersinking depth to match the screw head and the required finished position.
Test the setting on scrap material of the same type and thickness as the workpiece.
Position the drill perpendicular to the workpiece at the required fixing point.
Drill steadily until the depth stop reaches the workpiece surface.
Allow the freely rotating stop to control the final depth without applying unnecessary additional pressure.
Withdraw the drill while it is still rotating to leave a clean hole.
Check the screw fit and make a small depth adjustment if required before completing the remaining holes.
