No context, just a list od tools and accesories. The customer is Dutch, my text is, I think, a translation from Dutch into English, but very often with Dutch terms left ;(

neutral  Fred ten Berge: Sorry Sven, but the term 'countersink' is IMHO limited to conical results/shapes!! // Why use 6 words when 3 will be fully satisfactory? This Dutch customer may not be delighted (nor all that stupid ) to pay a double price (= number of words)?!

agree  mariette: what about countersink?
14 hrs
  -> Thanks a lot, Mariette! As I tried to point out previously, the term 'countersink' is IMHO limited to conical shapes, whereas the vast majority of cases refers to cylindrical applicatons.
