I bought a large set of Craftsman Flat Countersinks in 1971 I think and I loved it. They were easy to sharpen, and tapered with shoulder for wood screws.
I ended up losing them and buying a different set that just had the counter sink and a straight drill bit. It was ok, but I did not like not having the shoulder and I would use a little larger drill for the shoulder which took more time.
Now I have a 13-Piece Makita 784832-A Quad-Driver Countersink Set and I hate it. I cannot recommend it to anybody and I would rather have my old Craftsman flat blade set.
Anyway I saw a set at Wood craft with tapered drill bits that might help with the shoulders, but looks very difficult to sharpen. Anyone have any comments on these before I buy it?
