How deep should my Spot-face be?

I read that as a rule of thumb you should have a depth of 1/16" for your spot-face. But it made no mention of any dia. Is there a formula that would give this information? or is it just "what looks good"? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

What is the nominal diameter of the spot-faced surface?

For example, in Boeing Design Manual BDM-1327 section 3.5, the nominal diameter of the spot-faced surface is the same as the nominal size of the cutter, and is equal to the flat seat diameter plus twice the fillet radius. This is in contrast to the ASME Y14.5-2009 definition of a spotface, which is equal to the flat seat diameter.

The difference between counterboring and spotfacing is that a counterbored surface usually has a shoulder at the bottom of the enlarged hole, while a spotfaced surface is flat and always at right angles with the axis of the hole.

What is a spot face diameter?

The spotface is used to make flat surfaces perpendicular to the bolt mounting direction. The Counterbore diameter specifies the outer diameter of the feature. The Spotface diameter specifies the flat smooth surface that contacts the washer, nut, or bolt-head.

What is a spotface?

A spotface is a machined section of a part that allows a fastener to sit flat. This is usually a bolt head or washer but can be other fasteners.
