How is countersink depth calculated?
Quote from the video:
Quote from Youtube video: Okay. So we just have to divide this by two we take this number this is the diameter of it take it divide it by two. Equals four hundred and four hundred fifty-nine thousands.
What is the standard countersink angle?
82°
Countersinks have a countersink angle of 90° (and for US standard 82°) for countersinking screws, e.g. the countersink angle for rivets is 120°. For the flat countersink, the countersink angle is 180°.
What is a double countersunk screw?
What is a double countersunk screw head? Improved design on the countersunk head to give additional head strength and assist countersinking. COUNTERSUNK RIBBED HEAD. Small ribs on the countersink to assist completion of countersinking.
Should I countersink deck screws?
A good countersink bit is necessary to fasten the wood decking. Tapered bits are preferable. They provide a good “slip hole” through the high-density hardwood decking and a smaller tapered hole in the deck joist or framing. Stainless steel deck screws are the only choice for fastening tropical hardwood decking.
What is countersinking in drilling?
How To Countersink a Screw ·
How do you specify a countersink?
The three most critical are the countersink hole diameter, the angle of the countersink, and the thru hole diameter. All three have to be exact in order to fit the desired screw. Taking a look below, if the thickness of the material were to increase, the other measurements would not produce the same countersink.
How do you specify countersink on a drawing?
Write the dimensions of the countersink, giving first the diameter of the drill hole, then the angle of the countersink, followed by the diameter symbol and the diameter of the larger hole. This dimension can be given either with a diameter symbol first, or with the word DRILL after the first diameter.

How do you measure a countersink angle?
Since the countersink has a 90° included angle, bisect that angle with the centerline of the hole to create two equal 45° angles. Subtract the existing hole diameter from the countersink diameter. Then divide the answer by two because ½ the difference is on each side of the hole.
What is the standard countersink angle?
82°
Countersinks have a countersink angle of 90° (and for US standard 82°) for countersinking screws, e.g. the countersink angle for rivets is 120°. For the flat countersink, the countersink angle is 180°.
How do you measure the head angle of a screw?
Measuring Bolts and Screws
Hex, pan, truss, button, socket cap, and round head screws are measured from right under the head to the end of the threads. Flat head screws are measured from the top of the head to the tip of the threads.
How is hole chamfer depth calculated?
You simply divide the diameter of the spot-drilled hole. If you have drilled a 0.25″ diameter hole and want a 0.031″ chamfer on the hole, the diameter to be spot drilled will be 0.312″. The spot-drill depth, 0.156″ is half of this.
How big should a chamfer be?
0.010″ to 0.015″
The most common practice is to apply a chamfer diameter that is 0.010″ to 0.015″ (0.254mm to 0.381mm) larger than the thread’s major diameter. This will eliminate the burr and provide enough depth to act as a starter for a mating bolt.
What is the rpm formula for drilling?
R.P.M. = (3.8197 / Drill Diameter) x S.F.M.
