A hole may need to be countersunk so that the head of a xxxx or bolt sits flush with or below the surface of the material, creating a smooth finish. It is used when you need to hide the hardware and usually a decorative wood plug is inserted and sanded flush with the surface . Additionally, countersinking can help distribute the load of the fastener more evenly by adding more xxxx or bolt head surface, reducing the risk of material damage.
