Hole Machining Specifications

For Inch Thickness Sheetmetal

  • Friction Drilled/Tapped Holes
  • -> Not Applicable for Inch Thickness Sheetmetal
  • Countersunk Holes
Metric standard (ISO10642)
  • *Will be manufactured so that the head section does not protrude when using hex-socket countersunk bolts (JIS-B1194).
  • The screw will be threaded through to check that it is the correct size.
