Product Description

Self tapping screws are pretty simple. You drive them into a hole and they cut their own thread as they go. No need to tap the hole first. That saves time on the assembly line.

How They Work

The tip is sharp and has cutting edges. As you turn the screw, it digs in and forms its own thread. You still need a pilot hole, but that is it. No extra step.

Head Styles

Flat Head Screws

Sit flush with the surface. The head sinks in so you get a smooth finish. Good for finished panels where you do not want screws sticking out.

Wafer Head Screws

Have a low wide head. They do not stick up much but give you good clamping pressure. You see these a lot on pocket holes and sheet metal work.

Pan Head Screws

Are the standard domed head. Works for most general assembly jobs.

Self Tapping Screws Head Styles

Thread Types

Fine Thread Screws

Grip better in thin metal and hard plastic. More threads per inch means harder to pull out.

Coarse Thread Screws

Are for softer stuff like wood and plastic. They bite in faster.

Materials

Stainless Steel

Resists rust. Good for outdoor use or wet areas.

Brass

Looks good and does not rust. Also non magnetic. Works well for electronics and fixtures where appearance matters.

Galvanized Screws

Have a zinc coating. Decent rust protection for outdoors without spending too much.

Black Oxide

Gives you a matte black finish. Mainly for indoor use. Cuts down on glare.

Aluminium Screws

Are light and non magnetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I still need a pilot hole when using self tapping screws?
Yes, a pilot hole is generally required. The sharp tip and cutting edges allow the screw to form its own mating thread as it turns, eliminating the extra step of pre-tapping the hole.
What is the difference between fine thread and coarse thread screws?
Fine thread screws feature more threads per inch, offering superior grip and pull-out resistance in thin sheet metal and hard plastics. Coarse thread screws are engineered for softer materials like wood and regular plastics to bite in faster.
Which head style should I choose for my project?
Flat heads sink into the material for a flush surface finish. Wafer heads offer a low profile with a wider surface area for strong clamping pressure, while Pan heads provide standard domed fastening for general assembly.
What materials and finishes are offered for rust resistance?
Stainless steel provides high resistance to rust for outdoor or humid environments. Galvanized steel offers cost-effective outdoor protection with a zinc coating, brass provides corrosion resistance with aesthetic appeal, and black oxide provides an anti-glare indoor finish.
What size ranges and strength classes are available?
Standard metric sizing ranges from M2 to M6 with lengths from 6mm to 50mm. Strength ratings include Class 4.8, 6.8, 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 to cover everything from light assembly to high-stress applications.
Can I place custom or OEM orders based on technical drawings?
Yes, custom dimensions, special head styles, and OEM specifications are supported. Inquiries accompanied by drawings or physical samples receive a formal quote within 24 hours.
