stainless steel self tapping screws

Our Cross Recess Flat Head Self-Tapping Screws are a premium fastening solution, meticulously designed for applications requiring a clean, flush finish, particularly in furniture manufacturing and woodworking. These screws feature a sharp, pointed tail that allows for easy starting in wood and other soft materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The flat, countersunk head ensures the screw sits perfectly level with the surface for a smooth, professional appearance. Available in high-grade 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance or zinc-plated steel for general use, these screws are customizable to meet the precise needs of your project.

Product Details

The superior design of this screw combines aesthetic form with practical function. The flat, countersunk head with its tapered profile is engineered to sit level with or below the material’s surface when driven into a corresponding countersunk hole, creating a non-obtrusive and visually appealing finish. The sharp pointed tip allows the screw to easily penetrate wood, particleboard, and some plastics, while the self-tapping threads cut their own path, providing a tight and secure grip.

We offer these screws in premium 316 Stainless Steel, which provides exceptional protection against rust and corrosion, making it the perfect choice for outdoor furniture, marine environments, or high-humidity areas like kitchens and bathrooms. A zinc-plated steel option is also available for general-purpose indoor applications. The standard cross recess (Phillips) drive allows for easy installation with common tools.
