This is my curent problem our counter sink and diameter are to print but the thru hole is over. If we control the thru hole our counter sink is under size. Specialy when dealing with thin material.
Is there a standard or a BAC spec that allows this for over size thru hole.
The shops i have worked at for some reason have and under standing that it is allowed because of the material thikness. But i need it documented to justify it.
