    countersinking with either a countersink or a setting bur, as
    mentioned, will give you a flush rivet. But in areas where you might
    want additional strength...follow the setting bur with a small wheel
    bur, plunged straight in. this gives you a nice full head to the
    rivet, this is actually a counterbore. Tapered heads can peel if
    knocked the right way because the edge is rather thin.
