[edit] Another type of counterbore?
Isn't the tool that creates the angled recess for the head of a "flat head screw" also called a counterbore? That is, I don't think counterbores are limited to just creating flat-bottomed holes.

- To me that's a Countersink, which creates an included angle of either 82 ° or 90 ° suitable for the under side of countersunk screws such as e and f in this section. — Graibeard 20:15, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
