Can you tell me if the Robertson square drive recess is tapered like the Drive Bits?
I can find no information regarding this, just a width specification.
Regards
The Robertson square socket recess in the screw head is tapered, as is the head of the Robertson square drive screwdriver / drill bit. This combination creates a wedge, making the screw head and driver head become a perfect fit.

Can dacrotized coated deck screws be used with red cedar?
Thank you for your question. We do not recommend dacrotized screws for cedar as we have had feedback indicating that some staining/streaking may occur. We do offer options that might be of interest to you:
Buy Stainless Steel Deck Screws
Buy Ceramic coated deck screws

I have a custom bolt specification that calls for a 310 grade stainless steel. All of my usual sources are “no quoting”. Any idea why?
I suspect that you are reaching out to manufacturers that are (cold?) headers as opposed to makers that would mill the parts. Grade 310 Stainless Steel is much better suited to machining as opposed to cold heading. There are other characteristic of a Grade 310 Stainless Steel that might make it difficult to replace with a more standard 304 (18-8) Stainless Steel – for instance if your application requires high temperature service. If you can be more specific as to what your bolting application is, perhaps we can offer suggestions for suitable stainless steel grades that would be better suited to cold heading.
What would be the force needed to shear a 5/16-18 diameter 18-8 stainless steel bolt?
We have published a paper titled “Stainless Steel and Stainless Steel Fasteners: Chemical, Physical and Mechanical Properties” that you can find by following this link:
http://www.aspenfasteners.com/v/vspfiles/files/docs/stainless_specification.pdf
I believe that the information you are looking for can be found on page 13, table 13.
If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
On page 13, table 13 these is information about shear values.
Hello I’m in the Mechanical Engineering program at Forsyth Technical CC. I have a multi-screw head and square thread presentation and was trying to find any and all information on the following:
1) Clutch type A screw head
2) Multi-spline or Bristol screw head
3) Slab Head screw/bolt head
4) Phillips screw head
5) Square threads
Mainly I’m looking for pictures/history/ process of manufacturing/ purpose of each/ etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Justin Burns
Hello Justin,
It would appear to me that what you are looking for is information on fastener drive systems. Whereas we here at Fastener Experts are good at solving particular challenges that fastener users have (i.e. what platings to use in specific environments; what fasteners to consider for a particular assembly requirement), your question is best answered by existing resources already on the Internet.
Let me help you get started:
A great overview of fasteners in general can be found at this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw.
An excellent list of fastener drive types can be found at this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives. On this page, I am seeing the drives you are looking into: Clutch, multi-Spline/Bristol, Phillips and Square. The only one missing seems to be the “Slab Head” and to be honest, I haven’t yet come across this one in 30 years in this field. However, this page seems to have an entry for a Slab Head and wouldn’t you know it, it looks just like it sounds: http://allied1.com/harper.htm.
Basically, between Google and Wikipedia, you’ll be able to find everything you need. If you need illustrations, you can find those on the Aspen Fasteners site.
Good luck with your studies over at Forsyth Technical (in North Carolina, right? Yeah, I googled your school!) and let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with.
