Product description
Text screws are a specific type of screw used in various applications, primarily in woodworking and metalworking. They are often referred to by their function rather than a distinct naming convention, so it's essential to understand the context and specifics of what you're looking for. Here’s a detailed guide to text screws, including their features, types, applications, and tips for choosing the right screws.
Steel or Stainless Steel: Text screws are typically made from high-carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on the application and required strength.
Coating: They may have coatings such as zinc plating, black oxide, or other finishes for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
Self-Tapping Threads: Text screws often feature threads designed to cut into materials, such as wood or metal, without needing a pilot hole.
Thread Type: Threads can vary in pitch and depth depending on the application. Coarse threads are common for wood, while fine threads are used for metal.
Flat Head: Provides a flush finish with the surface. Ideal for applications where a smooth surface is needed.
Pan Head: Slightly domed and visible. Suitable for when the head needs to be exposed.
Hex Head: Designed for use with a wrench or socket, offering high torque capability.
Phillips or Pozidriv Drive: Common drive types that provide a secure grip and reduce cam-out.
Philips: A cross-shaped drive that allows for better grip and reduces slipping.
Slotted: A single slot for a flat-head screwdriver.
