Countersunk nuts? (like a countersunk screw, but a nut)
Is there such a thing? The usual places show nothing of the kind.
Countersunk-head screws fit flush with the surface of course, but another aspect of them is that they stay centered in the holes. Is there a nut with a conical contact area to fit similarly? I know a lot of nuts have one or both sides sort of a rounded-off, but the contact area is not nearly the entire possible.... and I know I could trim some regular high nuts or coupling nuts off if I only needed a few, but that would be impractical when I needed 50-100-200 or more. Even less so when I needed smaller sizes--#8, #10.... In a perfect world there would exist 'countersunk' nylon-washer-style locking nuts.... as long as they're not a mil-spec item where a 1/4-20# costs a dollar each.... |
