Counterborescrew

This is a flat bottom cavity. It allows a bolt or a fastener to sit flush with the workpieces. This allows the head of the screw or bolt to cover the head inside the bore/hole. This makes a good aesthetic view for the final product.

The hole dimension is cover the thread size if included. Then screw clearance is included and hole depth and counterbore depth. Below image gives a better understanding of that.

For screw mounting different types of screw holes need to be created. Countersunk screws need a countersink hole and other screws which needs to cover their heads need a counterbore. This is very popular in the product design industry due to its aesthetic view. Other than countersunk screws most of the other screws can be fixed to the counterbore holes.

There are different types of drill bits and drilling tools. For counterbore drilling you can use the counterbore tool. Normally counterbore allows screw head clearance. Whatever the thread type metric, unified, or some other type, there are standard tools for holes. You can use a drilling machine or milling machine. Today, we use CNC machines for a lot of machining tasks. So, you can use CNC or NC machines for this hole machining.

Flexible abrasive steel file / sheet 140 x 51 mm (5.5" X 2").  Thin (average .6 mm .025").  This sheet can be bent to any shape, internal or external.  Mount to your own T Bar or sanding block.  Mount on your bench, to make a flat bed sanding area.  Place sheets side by side for a larger area. Complex curves can easily be fabricated. Cut using old scissors.

A cutting tool is a type of instrument designed to cut or shape various materials, especially wood, plastic, and metals. Particularly in the Manufacturing Industry, these tools are widely used for material removal processes. A Read more…

There are some major differences between counterbore and countersink holes. However, there are two different types of screws are fitted to each hole type. The below table gives a better understanding.

CNC programming is also known as Computer Numerical Control programming. Basically, the process of creating instructions or code is called CNC programming. These are very common to program well-known machines like CNC mills, lathes, or Read more…

In engineering drawings, we use different symbols, views, and lines. When come to symbols surface finish symbols and welding symbols the common. Other than those symbols each hole type also has symbols like countersink and counterbore holes.
