Product Details

The defining characteristic of this screw is its “cheese head,” which is cylindrical with a flat top and a flat bearing surface. The head’s taller profile provides a good grip for driving tools and is well-suited for use in counterbored holes.

The drive is a traditional single slot, which is compatible with any standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it universally accessible for manual assembly and repair work. As a “machine screw,” it has a precise, uniform thread engineered to fasten into a pre-tapped hole or to be used with a nut, ensuring a secure and reliable mechanical joint. While the primary product is an economical Grade 4.8 steel screw with zinc plating, we can manufacture these fasteners in a vast range of materials to meet specific performance requirements.
