TYPE OF CONICAL-SHAPED CUTTER USED TO CUT HOLES IN MATERIALS
Form countersinking; Countersinking; ⌵
A countersink (symbol: ⌵) is a conical hole cut into a manufactured object, or the cutter used to cut such a hole. A common use is to allow the head of a countersunk bolt, screw or rivet, when placed in the hole, to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material (by comparison, a counterbore makes a flat-bottomed hole that might be used with a socket-head capscrew).
