Countersinking is a machining process that involves cutting a conical hole into a manufactured object. The purpose of countersinking is to allow the head of a countersunk bolt, screw, or rivet to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material. Countersinking can also be used to remove the burr left from a drilling or tapping operation, thereby improving the finish of the product and removing any hazardous sharp edges.
Benefits of countersinking
-
- it allows the head of a countersunk bolt, screw, or rivet to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material, thereby improving the finish of the product and removing any hazardous sharp edges
- countersinking can be used to remove the burr left from a drilling or tapping operation
- countersinking can make fasteners in your design flush with the parts they’re connecting, giving a more professional and polished look
- countersunk holes are useful because they allow screws or bolts to be inserted at a shallower angle, which makes it less likely to strip the material
- countersinking can make joints stronger and allow fasteners to make better contact with the material
