What is tapping for screws?
Tapping is the process of cutting a matching set of threads into a piece of metal, plastic, acrylic, or wood. The
process of tapping uses two separate tools: the tap which cuts the threads on the inner diameter of the hole, and
the die which cuts the threads on the outer diameter of the bolt or screw.
How do you screw in tapping screws?
Position the screw straight in line with the hole and turn it in, one or two turns, by hand. This allows the screw to be left in the hole as you pick up your screwdriver or drill machine. Using firm short movements, screw the self-tapping screw in place using a Phillips or flat head screwdriver or drill bit.
How do you measure a self tapping screw?
The starting point for their length is at the widest point of the head. From that point to the tip is the length of the screw. Self drilling screws are measured all the way to the end of the drill point tip.
Application
What is a self-tapping screw used for?
Self-tapping screws have the ability to tap threads into the material. Self-tapping screws are used for all sorts of materials, including wood, metal, and brick. These screws cannot drill through metal and require a pilot hole to be pre-drilled before installation.
