Getting ready to countersink wing spar. I've done a lot of research and studying of plans preparing for the first steps. Vans recommends using a #30 countersink using the platenut as a guide. Some guys fabricate a countersinking tool to help guide the #30 countersink. Both great ideas and seems to work.
My question is, why not just use a #19 drill to drill out the hole and then use a #19 countersink? That would eliminate using the platenut or countersink tool. Would this be an acceptable procedure?
Thanks,
Joe
