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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eDrill and countersink in a single operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eInstead 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-highlights\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrilling and countersinking in one pass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines two operations into a single working step for faster, more efficient installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 mm drill diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a 5 mm replaceable drill bit for the pilot hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable drilling depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the pilot-hole depth to be matched to the application.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable countersinking depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enables accurate setting for different screw-head requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent repeat accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once adjusted, the depth stop helps produce consistently drilled and countersunk holes across repetitive work.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreely rotating depth stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps prevent damage or scuffing when the stop reaches the material surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable drill bit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The worn drill can be replaced independently rather than replacing the complete countersink assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement drill available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses Festool EB-BSTA D 5\/5, order number 496452.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCENTROTEC system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows extremely quick accessory changes with the compatible Festool CENTROTEC chuck.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong service life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Festool's replaceable special drill is designed for durable professional use.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-material capability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for wood, aluminium, acrylic and mineral material.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for visible screw connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps produce neat, consistent screw-head recesses where appearance matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-compatibility\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFestool cordless drills:\u003c\/strong\u003e For compatible Festool cordless drills with FastFix tool reception and WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFestool cordless percussion drills:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for compatible Festool cordless percussion drills equipped with FastFix and the WH-CE CENTROTEC chuck.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFestool CENTROTEC system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully integrated into the CENTROTEC quick-change drilling and screwdriving system.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement drill bit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Festool EB-BSTA D 5\/5, order number 496452.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp class=\"info-products\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e For direct CENTROTEC use, the machine must be fitted with the appropriate \u003cstrong\u003eWH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck\u003c\/strong\u003e.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n

will be fitted during your test setup because screw-head geometry can affect the required countersink depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFor visible screw work, aim for a consistent screw-head position across the complete installation rather than adjusting each hole individually.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAllow the freely rotating depth stop to contact the surface naturally; excessive pressure after reaching the stop is unnecessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eWhen working in acrylic or mineral material, use a controlled feed and test the setup first to avoid chipping the finished surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eWhen drilling aluminium, keep the drill cutting cleanly and avoid forcing a blunt bit through the material.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eIf drilling performance deteriorates while the countersink body remains in good condition, replace the 5 mm drill bit with Festool 496452.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eKeep the adjustable components clean and free of compacted dust or swarf so the depth setting remains accurate.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eCheck the adjustment periodically during large repetitive jobs, particularly if the tool has been repeatedly placed down or transported between work areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse a
