2. Self-tapping screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-tapping_screw

   Self-tapping screws can be divided into two classes: [3] those that displace material (especially plastic and thin metal sheets) without removing it, known as "thread-forming" self-tapping screws, and self-tappers with sharp cutting surfaces that remove the material as they are inserted, termed "thread-cutting" self-tapping screws.

   A 5-point can drill through 0.5 in (12.7 mm) of steel, for example. self-tapping machine screw: A self-tapping machine screw is similar to a machine screw, except the lower part of the shank is designed to cut threads as the screw is driven into an untapped hole.

4. Screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw

   A machine screw or bolt is usually a smaller fastener (less than 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.35 mm) in diameter) threaded the entire length of its shank that usually has a recessed drive type (slotted, Phillips, etc.), usually intended to screw into a pre-formed thread, either a nut or a threaded (tapped) hole, unlike a wood or self-tapping screw. Machine ...

5. Pocket-hole joinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket-hole_joinery

   Pocket screws have a wide washer head to spread the load for a firm bond, and prevent screwing too far into the joint and cracking the wood. The self tapping screws will grip any type of wood, but coarse threads are needed for softer wood and fine threads are needed for harder. [5]

6. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

   Example (inch, coarse): For size 7 ⁄ 16 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. Therefore, a size 7 ⁄ 16 screw (7 ⁄ 16 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.

7. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   In metal, the brad point drill bit is confined to drilling only the thinnest and softest sheet metals, ideally with a drill press. The bits have an extremely fast cutting tool geometry: no point angle, combined with a large (considering the flat cutting edge) lip angle, causes the edges to take a very aggressive cut with relatively little point ...
