German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / camera housing mount
German term or phrase: Stufenbohrung
Eventuell wäre zu überlegen, das Loch ganz durchzubohren and die Gewindestange oben und unten mit einer Mutter zu befestigen. Bei einer Stufenbohrung sollte genug Platz und Bewegungsfreiheit dafür vorhanden sein.

This is in reference to mounting a camera housing on a table.

counterbore


Explanation:
I can find no confirmation of this, but the only thing that would make sense is counterbore. There would be enough space for the nuts if they were recessed in a countersunk hole.

Stepped bore


Explanation:
An alternative to 'counterbore'. It means a bore (drilled hole) that has a larger diameter in one portion than the other, thus forming a step in profile.

agree  Kim Metzger: "A basic rule of thumb when drilling multi or stepped holes in timber is use the biggest drill first and go down in size as has been suggested previously. Steel is the exact opposite, smaller first, bigger last." http://www.woodworkforums.
