Thread Cutting Screws

A thread-cutting screw, also known as a thread-forming screw, is a type of fastener designed to create its own internal threads in a pre-drilled hole. Unlike a self-tapping screw, which forms threads in the material it's driven into, a thread-cutting screw does not create external threads but rather forms threads within the material or component it's fastened into. These screws are often used in metalworking and other applications where precise and strong threading is required. Thread-cutting screws come in various types, including those with a sharp, pointed end for cutting threads, and others with a flat end for forming threads without removing material. The choice of screw type depends on the specific application and material. These screws are commonly used in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and electronics, where they play a vital role in creating secure and precise connections. They are available in a variety of materials, sizes, and thread types to suit different requirements.
