DIMENSIONS & TOLERANCES
5.6.2.4 Counterbored Hole Symbol. Counterbored holes are specified by note or by dimensioning as shown in
FIGURE 5-49a. Where the thickness of the remaining material is important, then the thickness rather than the
depth is dimensioned as shown in FIGURE 5-49b. Also shown are holes having more than one counterbore as
shown in FIGURE 5-49c.

5.6.2.5 Spotface Symbol. Spotfacing is the operation of cleaning up the surface around a feature. The diameter
of the spotface is specified. The depth or the remaining thickness may be specified, otherwise, minimum depth
necessary to clean up the surface is understood. See FIGURE 5-50.

DIMENSIONS & TOLERANCES
5.6.2.6 Countersunk And Counter Drilled Hole Symbols. The diameter and included angle for the
countersink are specified for countersunk holes. See FIGURE 5-51a. For counter drilled holes, the diameter and
depth of the counter drill are specified. See FIGURE 5-51b. Specifying the included angle of the counter drill is
optional. The depth of the drill and counter drill is measured from the outer surface of the part to the depth of the
full diameter.
