Help-Best tool for countersinking small screws ?

Hi Guys-
What is the best tool to use for countersinking our hobby size screws and fasteners ? I am aware of the commercial countersink bits, but they seem a bit large for our small hobby hardware. What are you guys using ?
Thanks in advance-
Mike O.

That one is perfect for the BVM poly panel screws, but I also need one for slightly larger screws, maybe # 2 or even for 3mm screws also.

Have you considered one of these drill/countersink bit?
Very common machine shop tool, comes in many many sizes, carbide should last a long time.
This is a #2 size
