Thread Forming And Cutting Screws

Thread-forming & thread-cutting screws are suitable for creating reusable threads in metals and plastics. They are ideal for metalworking, automobile, maintenance and repair applications. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of these screws from Grainger. These self-tapping screws need a pre-punched or drilled hole for installation / operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between thread-forming and thread-cutting screws?

  • The differentiating factor is how these screws tap the threads in the material.
  • Thread-cutting screws feature a shank slotted point to progressively cut away the material and form the thread as they are driven down.
  • Thread-forming screws create threads by shaping, moving or displacing the material. They generally have a blunt end and build up the threads more quickly & efficiently.
  • Users should select a thread-cutting screw over a thread-forming screw when dealing with hard materials, threading a big hole or preventing distortion of entry / exit holes.
