Q: Gary, how do you dimension a Countersunk hole in which you know the thru part will chage when the CSK is applied. We have a drawing that lists; 0.156 Dia. PILOT, Countersink 0.290 x 100 deg. Due to the material thickness when the CSK is applied the thru hole increases to app. 0.164. How would you list this hole so incoming inspection does not reject it? Thanks.
A: I would specify (diameter symbol).156 PILOT, (diameter symbol).164±.XXX FINAL.
