Countersink Options

You can specify the depth, countersink, and head clearance of the hole.

This page discusses:

Sizing and Depth

Options Description
Countersink. Creates a counterbore hole.
Standard
ASME Inch. General-purpose standard for dimensional inch series engineering and manufacturing.
ASME Metric. Metric standards for worldwide engineering and manufacturing.
DIN. German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung) for engineering and manufacturing.
ISO. The International Organization for Standardization meets the requirements, specifications, guidelines, or characteristics that ensure that materials are consistent in the products.
Hardware Type
Type of drill or dowel. Options vary depending on the Standard.
Size
Size of the hole. Options vary depending on the Standard.
Fit
Tightness of hole to the hardware.
The following Hole Dimensions options are available:
Diameter. Specifies the diameter of the hole. Click to reset the diameter to the default value.
Countersink Diameter. Specifies the diameter of the countersink. Click to reset the diameter to the default value.
Countersink Angle. Specifies the angle of the countersink. Click to reset the depth to the default value.
Depth. Specifies the depth and end of the hole.

Bind. Extends the hole for a specified distance.

When Bind is selected, you need to specify the Distance.

Up to Geometry. Extends the hole to the selected plane, planar face, vertex, or sketch point.

When Up to Geometry is selected, click a plane, planar face, vertex, or sketch point to specify how deep the hole is be extended.

Up to Next. Extends the hole to the next body.
Through All. Extends the hole through all existing geometry.
Flip Direction. Reverses the direction of the hole.
Distance. Specifies the depth of the hole.
Offset Distance. Offsets the end of the hole from the selected geometry by the specified distance when Up to Next and Up to Geometry is selected.
Bottom treatment. Specifies the bottom of the hole to either be Flat or a Drill point.

When Drill point is selected, you need to specify the angle of the drill point between 0-180 degrees.

Angle. Specifies the taper angle of the bottom of the hole.
Note: This option is available only for Blind, Up to Geometry, or Up to Next options.

Near Side Options

Option

Description

When Clearance Head Clearance is selected, you need to specify the Clearance you want around head on the far side.

When Countersink Head Clearance is selected, you need to specify the Clearance Type; Increased Countersink or Added Counterbore and specify the Clearance you want around head on the far side.
