Applies to all self-tapping screws.
For sheet metal, drill a pilot of about 85 % of the minor thread diameter. Too small and the screw strips; too large and it will not hold.
Pan heads are general purpose; modified truss heads have a low, wide bearing face for fixing sheet to studs; hex washer heads take high torque from a nut setter.
Case-hardened carbon steel taps into steel; A2 stainless taps aluminium and soft materials; SS410 combines hardness with moderate corrosion resistance.
Standard terms for this product. Tell us if your market needs something different.
ST sizes (ST3.5, ST4.2…) are tapping-screw threads per ISO 1478. M sizes are machine threads and need a tapped hole or nut.
A2 stainless is softer than hardened steel, so it works only in thin or soft sheet. Use SS410 or bi-metal screws for steel.
Yes, embossed or recessed head marks are available on most head styles with a one-off tooling charge.
