RE: Included angle

Included angle would be the total angle of a countersink. I.E. 100deg for use with a 100deg flat head screw. Also the angle on the screw could be described as and included angle. I have seen the term used in describing a countersink in a note.

Thank you for your help. There was a half angle on a drawing and it had the note INCLUDED below it. It was intended to imply the full angle. May of us were not familiar with this term.

Thank you for you help.

RE: Included angle

I have used "included" in several locations.

Sometimes just to eliminate potential abiguity, to ensure I got the right angle or taper.

In molded or cast parts, where you have to watch wall thickness build up on drafted surfaces, I always call out the "included" draft angle on free standing features such as bosses and ribs.
