Product Information

Boat engines cause the boat frame to vibrate which can result in other fasteners such as nails or regular screws falling out. As thread-forming screws tap their own thread during assembly, they do not require the hole to be tapped before insertion. The drawback to using this type of screw is that when they are removed it can result in stripped threads. To ensure a tight fit when reattaching window furniture, extra thickness is added to UPVC screws to ensure a secure fit and material for the screw to bite into. When using self-tapping screws in plastic it is advised that you drill a pilot hole before screwing in the self-tapping screw.

They have a drill-like point with flutes or cutting edges that remove the material as the screw is driven in. Trilobular stainless steel self-tapping screws are ideal in situations where vibration is present as their thread design reduces friction during thread forming whilst providing resistance to vibrational loosening.

Each screw size is described using two numbers – the ‘M’ number and a number indicating the length of the shank, in mm, so M2 screw dimensions of M2 x8, are 8mm long, measured under the screw head. Thus, whereas a regular machine screw cannot tap its own hole in a metal substrate, a self-tapping one can (within reasonable limits of substrate hardness and depth). Simply put, if you attach thick pieces of material, you will need a self-drilling screw with a flute to match. When using self-tapping screws in fibreglass, you will find that the drilling tip of the screw becomes dull quickly as it comes into contact with the glass fibres, which leads to cracking in the glass fibres and the gel coat.

Albania, Andorra, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegonia, Ceuta, Faroe Island, Gibraltar, Greenland, Guernsey. The flute on these screws is very small and the diameter of the hole it drills is smaller than the diameter of the outside screw thread.Winged and Non-Winged – It is necessary to use self-drilling screws with wings when fastening wood over 0. Suitable for a variety of jobs our wood screw range contains features such as shanks that reduce wood split, twin threads for a fast and accurate drive and tips that do not require any pre-drilling. This will avoid the drill head melting if too much RPM is applied or snapping if too much pressure is applied.
