Screws Types
Types of Screws
Following are some common type of
Screws:
1. Deck Screws
2. Hex Lag Screws
3. Self-Drilling Screws
4. Sheet Metal Screws
5. Wood Screws
Deck screws have a notched point at
the tip to assist in chip removal during thread cutting which allows for a
simple installation in wood and composite deck materials. A bugle head and
square drive help to eliminate the stripping effect sometimes experienced with
other types of drives.
2. Hex Lag Screws:
Lag screws, also called lag bolts, are
large wood screws. The head is external hex and are driven with a wrench. Used
for lag together lumber for framing, machinery to wood floors, and other heavy
duty applications.
3. Self-Drilling Screws:
Self-drilling screws have a sheet
metal thread with a self-driller cutting (TEK) point to pierce through 20 to 14
gauge metals. The higher the TEK number, the larger the drill point to pierce
heavier gauge metals.
4. Sheet Metal Screws:
Sheet metal screws have sharp cutting
threads that cut into sheet metal, plastic or wood. They have a fully threaded
shank and sometimes have a notched point at the tip to aid in chip removal
during thread cutting.
Wood screws are partially threaded
with large cutting threads and a smooth shank. They are designed to slip
through the highest piece of wood and tightly pull all boards together.
