Carbon Steel Countersink – Countersink for Wood.

A countersink is a conical hole cut into a manufactured object. The same term is used for the cutter used to cut such a hole.

Common uses:

• A common use is to allow the head of a countersunk bolt or screw, when placed in the hole, to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material. A countersink may 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.
• Regardless of the name given to the cutter, the surface being generated may be a conical chamfer (plunging applications) or a beveled corner for the intersection of two planes (traversing applications).
• These Tork Craft carbon countersinks are referred to as fluted countersinks and mainly suitable for wood
