I'm reaching out to all you smart folk - this has me flummoxed.
I have an M12 cap head allen key machine screw in 10mm plate. it's one of 4 holding a motor in place.
I'd like to countersink it for clearance, but an M12 countersink bolt needs roughly a 25mm countersink bit which is both spendy, and I doubt I'd get a decent result with a hand drill. There's no way I'd get the steel frame in my drill press.
So... can anyone think of a decent solution to get the bolt out of the way? A workaround is fine, a bodge may be tolerated, zip ties and gaffa tape will not.
TLDR; How do I get that bolt out of the way without countersinking it in the proper manner?
