The intersection of the hole and cone form the cutting edge on the tool. The cone is not truly symmetrical as it is essential that the cone retreats away from the cutting edge as the tool rotates providing clearance. If this does not occur the cutting edge will lack clearance and rub rather than <i>bite</i> into the material.

One component is a rod that is inserted into the existing hole in the workpieces; the other component is the cutter, which is attached to the rod, or extends out of it, after it is in position.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is comparable to other types of "back-" machining, such as back-spotfacing, back-boring, back-counterboring, back-milling, and back-deburring. The common theme is accomplishing machining operations on the far side of the workpiece from the spindle face, which obviates a "second operation" setup. This reduces setup time and frustration in several ways. Not only does it obviate the flipping over, cleaning, reclamping, etc., but it also can allow effortless high concentricity, parallelism, and squareness with the first setup's datum without the hassle of reestablishing it on another setup (via painstaking <a href="/wiki/Dial_indicator" class="mw-redirect" title="Dial indicator">indicating</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Speeds,_feeds,_and_avoiding_chatter"><span id="Speeds.2C_feeds.2C_and_avoiding_chatter"></span>Speeds, feeds, and avoiding chatter</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Countersink&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Speeds, feeds, and avoiding chatter"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It can often be difficult to avoid <a href="/wiki/Machining_vibrations" title="Machining vibrations">chatter</a> when cutting with countersink cutters. As usual in machining, the shorter and more rigid the setup, the better. Better-quality fluted countersink cutters sometimes have the flutes (or at least one flute) at an irregular pitching. This variation in pitching reduces the chance of the cutting edges setting up a <a href="/wiki/Harmonic" title="Harmonic">harmonic</a> action and leaving an undulated surface. This surface ripple is also dependent on the surface speed of the cutting edges, material type, and applied pressure (or feed rate); once started it is hard to remove. Too light a feed tends to increase chatter risk. As in many other machining operations, an appropriate response to the chatter may be to decrease speed and increase feed. On a drill press, the slowest available spindle speed is usually best. With a variable-speed handheld power drill, the trigger is best squeezed lightly to yield a low spindle speed. </p><p>Good chatter-free results can usually be had by countersinking by hand (as opposed to running the tool in a powered spindle). The slow speed and sensitive feed tend to prevent chatter. With a quarter-inch-hex shank, the countersink cutter can be held with a screwdriver handle of the indexable-bit type. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Form_countersinking">Form countersinking</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Countersink&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Form countersinking"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Form countersinking, also known as <i>dimpling</i>, is a countersink that is formed into <a href="/wiki/Sheet_metal" title="Sheet metal">sheet metal</a> to increase the strength of a structure as the countersinks of multiple pieces nest together.
