Buy Thread Cutting Screws Here
A thread cutting screw is a type of self tapping screw – in that it both taps and fastens in a single operation. And unlike a thread rolling screw which displaces/deforms the material in the newly formed thread path, thread-cutting screws physically remove the material into which they are driven as they form new mating threads.
Main Features of Thread Cutting Screws:
- Ideal for use in a variety of plastics, resins and metals
- Variety of head styles, drives and materials to suite specific applications
- A thread-cutting slot provides a sharp serrated cutting edge to form a perfect mating thread
- Blunt point necessitates a pre-drilled pilot hole
Advantages of Thread Cutting Screws:
- Eliminates the need for a separate tapping operation
- Thread profile improves integrity of mated threads
- Improved thread engagement for long-term use
- Reduced radial and hoop stresses in the boss for prolonged usage
- Reusable with continued performance
