The screw, also called a type T thread cutting screw, has\nfine threads and a type 23 point that tapers down to a blunt edge and directs\nchips out of the hole to prevent clogging. The large cutting surface is\nsuitable for soft metals and enables screw installation with minimal rotating\nforce. Steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary\nconsideration. The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance and has a\nreflective appearance. The hex washer head has six flat sides that a wrench\ncan grip to turn from the side, enabling use when there is no space above the\nhead for a screwdriver. The flange acts like a washer to increase the\nfastener's bearing surface and distribute the clamping force over a larger\narea, providing grip and reducing damage to mating surfaces.Thread cutting and\nthread rolling screws, two types of self-tapping screws, are threaded\nfasteners that create a mating thread in the wall of a hole. The two screws\ndiffer from each other in the way that they create the threads. Thread cutting\nscrews cut the wall of the hole to create the thread, creating material chips\nthat need to be cleared away from the hole to prevent clogging. Thread rolling\nscrews, also called thread forming screws, do not remove material but instead\npress against the wall of the hole to displace the material and form the\nthreads.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eThread cutting screw with type 23 point style has fine threads that taper down to a blunt point with a large cutting surface suitable for soft metal, provides excellent chip clearance, and requires minimal rotating force to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSteel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eZinc plating resists corrosion and has a reflective appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eHex washer head has a flange for additional grip with the mating surface and has six flat sides that a wrench can grip to turn from the side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Small Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43806973984948,"sku":"B00GWYQAB6","price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/files\/B00GWYQAB6.jpg?v=1737440762","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/small-parts-31103w-steel-thread-cutting-screw-zinc-plated-finish-hex-washer-head-type-23-5-16-18-thread-size-5-8-length-pack-of-10","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
