I see.  I do some of my counter sinking with forstner bits for a flat-bottomed hole, no angle, which would be most appropriate for this appilcation.
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

I'm glad we reached some homo eroticness again with synonym like drilling flat bottomed holes.

counterbore with pilot, it drills a flat bottomed hole.


I goof up on my choice of cutters! I did this for a living for many years & should have known better..........

I'm a Tool & Die Maker, but I've been off the bench for about 25 years running Wire EDMs & a Laser.
