Festool BSTA HS D 5 CE CENTROTEC Drill Countersink 5mm
At a Glance: Precision 5 mm CENTROTEC drill countersink with adjustable drilling and countersinking depth, allowing pilot drilling and countersinking to be completed accurately in a single working step.
The Festool BSTA HS D 5 CE is a professional 5 mm drill countersink designed to drill the pilot hole and form the countersink for the screw head in one efficient operation. It is particularly useful for visible screw connections where consistent screw-head depth and a clean finished appearance are important. Both the drilling depth and countersinking depth can be adjusted, making it possible to set the tool precisely for the screw and material being used. A freely rotating depth stop contacts the workpiece without continuously rubbing across the surface, helping protect delicate finished materials from marking. Designed around the Festool CENTROTEC system, the BSTA HS D 5 CE allows exceptionally fast tool changes when used with compatible Festool cordless drills and cordless percussion drills equipped with FastFix and the WH-CE CENTROTEC chuck. It is suitable for drilling and countersinking in wood, aluminium, acrylic and mineral materials, making it an excellent accessory for furniture manufacture, kitchen fitting and professional assembly work.
Instead of first drilling a pilot hole, changing tools and then countersinking the screw recess separately, the BSTA HS D 5 CE performs both operations together. Once the drilling and countersinking depths have been set correctly, repeated holes can be produced quickly and with excellent consistency – especially useful when a row of visible screws must all sit at the same depth.
Product highlights
- Drilling and countersinking in one pass: Combines two operations into a single working step for faster, more efficient installation.
- 5 mm drill diameter: Uses a 5 mm replaceable drill bit for the pilot hole.
- Adjustable drilling depth: Allows the pilot-hole depth to be matched to the application.
- Adjustable countersinking depth: Enables accurate setting for different screw-head requirements.
- Excellent repeat accuracy: Once adjusted, the depth stop helps produce consistently drilled and countersunk holes across repetitive work.
- Freely rotating depth stop: Helps prevent damage or scuffing when the stop reaches the material surface.
- Replaceable drill bit: The worn drill can be replaced independently rather than replacing the complete countersink assembly.
- Replacement drill available: Uses Festool EB-BSTA D 5/5, order number 496452.

Extra Info
Extra Information
- What does D 5 mean? D 5 identifies the nominal 5 mm diameter of the replaceable drill bit.
- What does CE mean? CE identifies the Festool CENTROTEC connection used for fast accessory changes with the compatible WH-CE tool chuck.
- Why combine drilling and countersinking? A conventional workflow requires one tool for the pilot hole and another for the countersink. Combining the two saves tool changes and makes repetitive screw preparation considerably faster.
- Why is the drilling depth adjustable? Screw length, workpiece thickness and material can vary. Adjustable drilling depth allows the pilot hole to be set appropriately for the particular application.
- Why is the countersinking depth adjustable? Different screw heads and finishing requirements require different recess depths. The BSTA HS D 5 CE can be adjusted so the screw head finishes flush or at the required position.
- Why does the depth stop rotate freely? A fixed stop spinning at drill speed could rub against or mark a finished surface. Festool's freely rotating stop substantially reduces this risk once it contacts the workpiece.
- Replaceable drill: When the 5 mm drill eventually becomes worn, it can be replaced using Festool EB-BSTA D 5/5, order number 496452.
- Replacement pack: Festool supplies the EB-BSTA D 5/5 replacement drill bits separately in a pack of five.
- Especially useful for visible screws: Repeatedly countersinking to the same depth gives installations a much neater appearance than judging every screw recess by eye.
Furniture and installation work often involves repeated changes between drilling, countersinking and driving screws. CENTROTEC allows compatible accessories to be exchanged rapidly while maintaining a compact tool setup. With the BSTA HS D 5 CE preparing the hole and countersink in one operation, the operator can then change quickly to the appropriate driver bit for fastening.
Pro Tips
- Set up the drilling and countersinking depth on an offcut of the actual material before working on the finished component.
- Use the exact screw that will be fitted during your test setup because screw-head geometry can affect the required countersink depth.
- For visible screw work, aim for a consistent screw-head position across the complete installation rather than adjusting each hole individually.
- Allow the freely rotating depth stop to contact the surface naturally; excessive pressure after reaching the stop is unnecessary.
- When working in acrylic or mineral material, use a controlled feed and test the setup first to avoid chipping the finished surface.
- When drilling aluminium, keep the drill cutting cleanly and avoid forcing a blunt bit through the material.
- If drilling performance deteriorates while the countersink body remains in good condition, replace the 5 mm drill bit with Festool 496452.
- Keep the adjustable components clean and free of compacted dust or swarf so the depth setting remains accurate.
- Check the adjustment periodically during large repetitive jobs, particularly if the tool has been repeatedly placed down or transported between work areas.
- Use a suitable screw length and pilot-hole depth for the material – the depth stop controls consistency but does not replace correct fastener selection.
How to Use
- Determine the required pilot-hole and screw-head countersinking depth for the application.
- Fit the BSTA HS D 5 CE into the compatible WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck.
- Adjust the projection and drilling depth of the 5 mm drill bit to suit the required screw and workpiece.
- Adjust the countersinking depth so the screw head will sit at the required position.
- Secure all adjustments before operating the drill.
- Make a test hole in an offcut of the same material.
- Insert the intended screw into the test hole and check its final head position.
- Fine-tune the countersinking or drilling depth where necessary.
- Place the drill squarely against the finished workpiece at the required hole position.
- Drill steadily so the 5 mm pilot drill enters the material followed by the countersinking cutter.
- Continue until the freely rotating depth stop reaches the workpiece surface.
- Withdraw the tool while it remains aligned with the drilled hole.
- Repeat the process for additional holes using the established depth setting.
- Change to the appropriate driver bit and install the screws.
Safety
Safety
- Switch off the drill and remove the battery before fitting, removing or adjusting the countersink.
- Make sure the BSTA HS D 5 CE is fully engaged in the CENTROTEC chuck before operating the machine.
- Secure the workpiece before drilling, particularly when working with smaller components.
- Wear suitable eye protection when drilling wood, aluminium, acrylic or mineral material.
- Use suitable respiratory protection and dust extraction where the material being drilled produces hazardous dust.
- Use controlled drilling pressure and keep the drill aligned with the intended hole axis.
- Do not touch the drill or countersink immediately after demanding use because cutting components can become hot.
- Inspect the 5 mm drill for damage or excessive wear and replace it when necessary.
- Do not continue drilling with a damaged or incorrectly secured depth stop.
- When drilling aluminium, protect against sharp swarf and remove chips safely after the tool has stopped.
- When processing acrylic or mineral material, make a test hole first because feed rate and material behaviour can affect the finished countersink.
- Follow the Festool drill, CENTROTEC accessory and material manufacturer's safety instructions before use.
