Meaning

1 senses
  1. To countersink from the backside of a workpiece by using a tool that passes through a through hole, deploys a cutting edge (or receives it by manual insertion from an operator), countersinks the far side, retracts the cutting edge (or has it removed), and then retreats back through the hole (toward the tool's origin).

    We won't need any second operation on these parts. We're going to back-counterbore and back-countersink all of these features on the backside.

Origin

From back- + countersink.
