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.

3. Pentalobular screw thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentalobular_screw_thread

   A pentalobular screw thread is a form of self-forming thread used for screws. Self-forming screws are used in ductile materials, such as aluminium and plastics. Self-tapping screws are widely used for driving into sheet metal or plastics and forming their own thread. They may be either self-drilling, forming their own hole through unbroken ...

   locate, guide, and provide clearance for a self-threading screw in wood or plastic to prevent damaging the material or breaking the screw. The Invention of the Pilot Hole: A Revolutionary Technique by Jason Frantz; Throughout history, innovations in simple tools and techniques have profoundly impacted human progress.

   TIME-SERT insert. A threaded insert, also known as a threaded bushing, is a fastener element that is inserted into an object to add a threaded hole. [1] They may be used to repair a stripped threaded hole, provide a durable threaded hole in a soft material, place a thread on a material too thin to accept it, mold or cast threads into a work piece thereby eliminating a machining operation, or ...

6. List of screw and bolt types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_and_bolt_types

   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. The advantage of this screw type over a self-drilling screw is that, if the screw is reinstalled, new threads are not cut as the screw is driven. set bolt

7. 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 ...
