Countersink CBN-Grinded

The purpose of a countersink is to allow a fastener, typically a flathead screw, to sit slightly below the surface of the spare part. 


A countersink consists of a conical hole that is coaxial to a cylindrical hole, where the angle of the cone is determined by the fastener to be used. 


Countersinks have a conical cutting edge  geometry. The most common types are  60°, 90° and 120°. They are used for countersinking, deburring and chamfering.
