Countersink Depth Calculator Calculate the countersink hole depth needed for a flat-head screw based on head angle and diameter. — free online calculator.

Formula

Depth = (head diam − shank diam) / 2 / tan(half angle)
  • Countersink Depth Calculator calculates its result from Screw Head Diameter, Shank Diameter, Head Angle. It uses the formula Depth = (head diam − shank diam) / 2 / tan(half angle). Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Screw Head Diameter, Shank Diameter, Head Angle. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Countersink Depth

Inputs
  • Screw Head Diameter: 0.375
  • Shank Diameter: 0.164
  • Head Angle: 82

Using Screw Head Diameter = 0.375, Shank Diameter = 0.164, Head Angle = 82, the calculated result is 0.3198652319.
