Formulas
depth = width / tan(angle / 2)
width = depth x tan(angle / 2)
Countersink OD = hole diameter + 2 x width
Standard countersink angles: 82° (most common for flat head screws in the US), 90° (metric standard), 100° (aerospace), 120° (rivets). Chamfer width is the radial distance measured on the surface; depth is measured along the hole axis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What angle is a standard countersink?

The most common countersink angle is 82 degrees (included) for flat head screws per ANSI standards. Aerospace fasteners typically use 100 degrees per NAS and MS specs. European DIN fasteners use 90 degrees. Always match the countersink angle to the fastener head angle for proper flush seating and full bearing contact.

How do I calculate chamfer depth?

Chamfer depth equals the chamfer width multiplied by the tangent of half the included angle. For a 45-degree chamfer (90-degree included), depth equals width since tan(45) is 1.0. For other angles, use depth = width x tan(angle/2). This relationship also determines the countersink OD when applied to a hole edge.
