Looking to make a mounting bracket with beveled screw holes, as in this photo.Attachment 6306
Is there a specific bit for this? I'm familiar with countersink bits for woodworking, but not aware of the same bit to use on steel. Anybody seen this?

I use a drill bit that matches the screw head diameter for that. Turns out perfect every time.
Same here... just don't push hard.
Here's a countersink for metal.. http://www.thesitebox.com/drill-bits...rsink-bit.aspx
They do make countersinks for metal. I use them all the time. I usually get them from http://www.mcmaster.com/#countersinks/=h7aw5i.
I like to set the cordless drill to the slowest gearing, this helps eliminate chatter and prolongs the bits life.
I don't use a countersink because I like the hole to be the same size as the screw head, flush. Some screw heads taper to a sharp edge and some don't (like decking screws).
Thanks- good to know there are some options to explore.
