Countersinks create a tapered 'funnel' shape. You want something that leaves a square 'shelf' around the edge of the hole. The tool that does that is called a 'spot face' bit. You'll need to use it in a drill press to keep everything lined up properly. The result will be that the ferrules are recessed into the body so that they don't sit proud of the surface. Its a nice bit of detailing.

If you can't find the right size of spot facing bit to match the ferules, don't worry about it. They're made to be pressed into a simple hole, with the lip sitting out on the surface. And they're on the back, anyway, right?
