Thread Cutting Screws

Thread cutting screws fall under the category of tapping screws. These screws are different from a thread forming screw in that the thread cutting screw actually cuts material as it is drilled into a hole. It doesn’t stress a hole as a thread forming screw does. It is ideally suited for fastening applications that need excessive torque to drive screw.

Fasteners Plus offers a wide variety of thread cutting screws that can be used as fasteners for metals such as aluminum, zinc, bronze, and other alloys.

We recommend the use of thread cutting screws in the following scenarios:

-Where assembly and disassembly of the fastened part is needed, self-tapping screws a better option
