Frequently asked

What is the difference between a machine screw and a self-tapping screw?

Machine screws have a parallel metric thread and fasten into a pre-tapped hole or nut; self-tapping screws cut or form their own thread as driven. Machine screws suit precise, repeatable assembly; self-tappers suit sheet metal and one-off fixings.

Should I use pozi or slotted machine screws?

Pozi drive is generally preferred for production assembly because the driver centres itself and cam-out is reduced. Slotted remains widely used in electrical work, restoration and traditional applications. Both drives are available across most head styles.

Which head type gives a flush finish?

Countersunk screws (DIN 965 pozi, DIN 963 slotted) sit flush in a countersunk hole. Raised countersunk (DIN 966, DIN 964) sits flush at the rim with a shallow domed crown. Pan and cheese heads sit proud and suit work where flush mounting isn't needed.
