Can countersinks be used on drill presses, mills and machining centers? Differences?

Countersinks work on drill presses, mills, machining centers, CNC lathes and any machine with a suitable chuck. Differences: 1) Drill press - most common, generally lower speed (300-2000rpm), good for simple chamfering and deburring; simple to run but moderate accuracy and no automatic depth control; 2) Mill - wide speed range, rigid, good for complex parts and multi-angle chamfers, manual depth control, better accuracy than a drill press; 3) Machining center - high speed, accuracy and rigidity; programmable depth and position; best for batch production and high precision with top efficiency; 4) CNC lathe - for hole-edge chamfering on shaft and disc parts, often combined with turning in one setup. Choice: small simple chamfers - drill press; medium batches, moderate demands - mill; large batches, high precision - machining center; shaft parts - lathe. The tools themselves are universal; only clamping and parameters differ slightly.
