    Countersinks

    Exact countersink sets have different uses that can hardly be ignored. For instance, their primary function is ensuring fasteners or flat head screws are sitting flush against your workpiece. They are very useful when it comes to making conical holes which match or align with angled contour at the base (bottom) of flat head screws. Simply put, exact countersinks are conical holes which have been cut into objects that are manufactured. It is meant to allow the rivet, bolt or screw of your countersink's head to be even or level.

    They are known as exact countersinks due to how they have been built to sink into surfaces or objects. These are usually characterized by a flat head which tends to taper along the shaft. Therefore, when exact countersink sets are being driven into a surface or object, their heads will sink thereby making it possible for it to be levelled with such material.
