The\ntype F point is suitable for heavy gauge sheet metal, aluminum, cast iron,\nbrass, and plastic. The screw has machine screw threads that taper down to a\nblunt point with multiple cutting edges and chip cavities. The 18-8 stainless\nsteel material provides strength and offers good corrosion resistance in many\nenvironments. The material may be slightly magnetic. The flat undercut head\nhas a flat top with an 82-degree cone-shaped bearing surface and is undercut\nto a lower head height for use in shallow countersunk holes. The Phillips\ndrive has an x-shaped slot that accepts a Phillips driver and is designed to\nallow the driver to slip out of the head to help prevent over-tightening and\ndamage to the thread or fastener.Thread cutting and thread rolling screws, two\ntypes of self-tapping screws, are threaded fasteners that create a mating\nthread in the wall of a hole. The two screws differ from each other in the way\nthat they create the threads. Thread cutting screws cut the wall of the hole\nto create the thread, creating material chips that need to be cleared away\nfrom the hole to prevent clogging. Thread rolling screws, also called thread\nforming screws, do not remove material but instead press against the wall of\nthe hole to displace the material and form the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eThread cutting screw with type F point has machine screw threads that taper down to a blunt edge and is suitable for heavy gauge sheet metal, aluminum, cast iron, brass, and plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance and strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePlain surface has no finish or coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFlat undercut head has a flat top with an 82-degree cone-shaped bearing surface and is undercut for use in shallow countersunk holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePhillips drive has an x-shaped slot that accepts a Phillips driver and is designed to prevent over-tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Small Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41334596534452,"sku":"B00GX0NBG6","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/products\/B00GX0NBG6.jpg?v=1648561872","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/18-8-stainless-steel-thread-cutting-screw-plain-finish-82-degree-flat-undercut-head-phillips-drive-type-f-12-24-thread-size-1-2-length-pack-of-25","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
