what does it mean to counterbore a hole?
i'm putting together a saw horse and for the top i drilled a 5/16" hole to fit a bolt through that holds the braces for the legs. the bolt doesn't fit flush to the top but the instructions say to counterbore a with a 3/4" bit to 1/8" deep. am i just drilling into my existing hole with a larger bit? or is there something more that i'm missing? thanks.
Yes, you are just making the hole bigger at the surface with a larger bit. The head of the bolt should fit inside the larger hole so it will be more or less flush with the surface.
For future reference, it is usually easier to bore the larger hole first. Drill your 3/4" hole first, 1/8 - 1/4" deep depending upon the thickness of the head of the bolt. Then drill your 5/16" hole all the way through. The smaller bit will tend to center in the larger hole as the bit will create a bit of a cupped bottom.
