Why a Countersink Is Too Large
Oversizing can result from excessive pressure, poor alignment, tool runout or a countersink selected for the wrong fastener.
Countersinks: selection checklist
- Confirm the included angle and diameter.
- Use light, controlled feed.
- Check spindle runout and workholding.
How to choose the right option
- Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
- Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
- Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
