    So I know what countersunk screws are. But just came across double countersunk screws. Done a bit of googling but can't seem to find anywhere explaining the difference between them.

    So any of you guys know what the difference is and what the double means?

    From what I can make out, it looks like this...

    There is the parallel of the screw itself. Leading up to the head there is a tiny bit of countersunk head at one angle which then leads into the main countersunk of the head at a bigger angle.

    Seems the advantage is they create their own countersink.
