Counterbores, also called flatsinks, are spiral fluted to process a flat sink of 180°, according to DIN 974-1. They are mainly used for sinking of Allen screws (hexagon socket screws) acc. To DIN 912, 6912, 7984, as well as for cylindric slotted screws acc. to ISO1207 (DIN 84), too.
Counter bores are used in through holes where the screws will connected with the nuts. Tapping sizes are used for tapping sized holes.
steel, alloyed and unalloyed steel up to 900N/mm² tensile strength, grey cast iron,
malleable cast iron, spherodial and die cast, sintered iron, nickel-silver, graphit, short chipped
aluminium alloys, brass and bronze.
hot and cold forming working tool- steels, acid and rust resistant steels (stainless steels: V2A/V4A)
The sinking deepth will calculate as following:
Countersinking depth = Distances between tool point and the top surface of work piece + thickness of a possible use for a washer
for sinking diameter 1.4 bis 6mm = 0.4mm
for sinking diameter 6 bis 20mm = 0,6mm
