That's pretty much it. I had a countersing drill bit that I did use
manually. I just rotated myself the bit until the screw would fit the
surface of the board. I don't know what kind of bit it is, since it was part
of the drill, but, yes, it's larger than the hole itself. I didn't think
much about it when I decided to give it a shot. I was just careful and did
rotate the bit manually with my hand.
