Re: Min Thickness for Countersunk Bolts

Do you really need countersunk? can you bore a large clearance and just bolt through one wall instead?

Could you use a larger diameter (like .5") insert the length of the tubing, and countersink that? That'd give a stronger connection anyway.

The had on a #6 is way thicker than .0625, I'd expect issues as well (unless you're not countersinking flush).

It looks like you have to go all the way down to a #2-56 to get close, and that's a .064" tall head still.
