Generate a plate with countersunk holes

A plate with conical recesses so flat-head screws finish flush with the surface. Essential wherever a protruding screw head would foul a moving part or spoil a finished face.

What it is used for

Dimensions that matter

Plate sizeLength × width × thickness — must be thick enough for the cone.
Screw sizeM6 countersunk heads use a 90° included angle to ISO 10642.
Hole count and spacingState positions or a pattern.
The plate must be thicker than the countersink depth or the screw head will break through. The engine checks the countersink exists as real geometry rather than assuming it.

What you get

A real solid model you can rotate and measure, plus downloadable STEP (machining and CAD), STL and 3MF (3D printing) and DXF (laser and waterjet) files. Optional built-in analysis covers stress (FEA), thermal, buckling, cost and manufacturability.

Before you see it, the built geometry is measured against the dimensions you stated, checked as a valid watertight solid, and — for assemblies — checked for interference. These are geometry and physics checks; they do not confirm the shape matches what you pictured, so review the 3D view or 2D drawing before relying on the part.

Previewing is free. Downloading is £2.99 per part, or unlimited on Pro (£29/month, £290/year).

Common questions

What file formats do I get?
STEP, STL, 3MF and DXF — the formats CNC shops, laser cutters and 3D printers accept.

Can I change the dimensions afterwards?
Yes. Edit the numbers directly, or describe the change in plain English. Every edit is rebuilt and re-checked.

Do I need CAD experience?
No. Describe the part and its sizes in millimetres.

Is it free to try?
Yes — describing a part and viewing the 3D preview costs nothing.
