Ford Fasteners offers thread cutting screws. Thread cutting screws are a type of self-tapping screw. They feature sharp edges that cut threads into a mating material as you drive them into an existing hole.
Thread cutting screws provide many advantages. First, they create very little internal stress. Second, they do not require that you use significant driving force when you place them. Also, they create a secure fit, but come out easily with the right tools. Lastly, thread cutting screws offer better size control, they last longer, they cut their own thread, and they cut down the amount of time it takes to complete a project.
Thread cutting screws work well with metal, and they’re perfect for use with items that you may need to occasionally disassemble for cleaning or maintenance.
