Screws

Screws are a fastener variety that is widely used every day. They come in many shapes and sizes and all have different uses depending on the type of screw. The wood screw and bolt are often used interchangeably. You will often see smaller fasteners called screws and as they get bigger they are referred to as bolts. Generally, the term screw defines any fastener that after being installed into the material holds itself into that material. Consider that a machine screw needs a nut or a pre-tapped hole to install. Wood deck screws are generally larger in diameter than wood screws and their main use is for outdoor wood projects such as building a deck or fence. They are also excellent for woodworking projects where the wood will be exposed to the elements because they have better corrosion resistance than wood screws. There are several types of heads available for wood deck screws including Phillips head, square drive, Torx and star head.

Accessories: 

Some of the Screw Accessories are mentioned below:

Screw Cover Caps

Hinged screw cover caps

Domed screw cover caps

Self Drilling screws

Self Tapping screws

Types of Screws:

screws are the world's most common fastener and are characterized by the presence of helical threading around a long shaft. screws offer an easy and effective solution for joining multiple solid objects. While all screws have helical threading around a shaft, though, they aren’t necessarily the same. 

Some common types of Screws are:

Wood Deck Screws

A wood screw is a type of fastener that is used to connect two pieces of wood or to secure a wood trim or other wooden accessories to a surface. Wood screws are made from a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass, and they come in a wide range of sizes to accommodate different thicknesses of wood. Wood screws also have a variety of head styles, including Phillips, flat, and oval, which can be selected based on the application. When choosing exterior wood screws, it’s important to pick a style that will resist rust and corrosion.

For applications that require extra holding power, such as attaching heavy objects to wood, threaded rod can be used in conjunction with wood screws. Threaded rod is simply a length of metal with threads that screw into the matching threads on the exterior of the wood screw. 

Machine Screw

Machine screws are threaded screws commonly used in machines and tools. They are relatively small in size, usually ranging up to ¾ of an inch (19.05 mm). The head is typically round or flat, and the slot type can vary. Machine screws can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, brass, and bronze, which makes them resistant to rust and wear. The length of the screw also varies depending on the application.

Threading on a machine screw is very important because the corresponding holes that they are being fastened into are typically tapped for a specific size and type of screw thread. The major diameter of the external thread form is slightly smaller than the diameter of the unthreaded portion, or shank, of the screw. Machine screws also usually have uniform thread pitches on their entire length. In many cases, however, the threaded portion may be shorter than the unthreaded shank.

Machine screws are used to fasten metal parts together and are inserted into tapped holes. If a head is desired, it is selected to match the tapped hole. Screws with extended threaded portions and no heads are used where frequent adjustments or removals are required or where assembly is automated so that no head protrudes above the surface. In some applications, such as in electronics, the threaded portion may be separate from the headless shank (e.g., an item number 10-32 set screw). 

Sheet Metal Screws

Sheet metal screws are one of the most versatile types of fasteners. They are designed for metal, but can be used on a variety of materials, such as wood, plastic, and composite. They are available in standard and custom sizes, and can be ordered with different threading options to suit your specific needs. Sheet metal screws are made from high-strength steel, making them ideal for applications where durability is key. 

The head of sheet metal screws can come in a number of different styles. Pan or round head screws will have heads that extend above the surface of the material after being installed. Flat or oval countersunk screws will be flush with the top of the material after being installed. These screws can come with a Phillips, flat, or combo drive. The correct fastener must be selected based on the thickness of metal being fastened and the tools being used to install the fastener. The shape of the fasteners will also dictate how it must be installed in order to achieve a secure hold. For example, a pan head screw must be driven into the metal at an angle so that the raised portion of the head is flush with the surface of the material.

Structural Screws

Structural screws are strong fasteners made of heat-treated, high-strength galvanized steel. They come in spider-head, Torx-drive and hex-head designs. They have greater strength than most screws and they eliminate the requirement to drill lags or pilot holes in wood. However, the price range is much higher than typical screws based on these features. 

They are also classified by their diameter and length. The diameter refers to the distance across the structural screw, while the length is how far the structural screw protrudes out of the wood. The structural screw's head also comes in a few different designs. A popular design is the hex head, which allows the structural screw to be driven in with a wrench. Another common design is the washer head, which has a large surface area to distribute the load evenly over a wide area. 

The threads on structural wood screws are also an important consideration. The threads need to be fine enough so that they can grip the wood securely, but not so fine that they strip easily. The spacing between the threads also needs to be just right so that the structural screw can bite into the wood and hold it tight. 

Choose the Right Screw:

Head

In the days when a screwdriver was the primary means of inserting screws, the Phillips was king. But now, with most of us using cordless drill/drivers to drive screws—or even dedicated Lithium Ion pocket drivers, the hardware has developed to prevent bit slippage and stripping of the metal. With the new breed of fasteners, you don't need as much torque to seat them properly, and there's less chance of rounding out the head. This is all good news for anyone who's ever had a round headed screw spinning in their fingers while they cussed a blue streak. 

The Quadrex is a revolutionary new type of screw that combines the best features of traditional square and Phillips head screws. The Quadrex provides a significantly larger surface area than either type of screw, making it ideal for applications where a great deal of torque needs to be applied, such as framing or building a deck. In addition, the Quadrex is available in a variety of lengths to suit any need.

Material 

If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, silicon-coated bronze screws are also a good choice. They're not as strong as steel screws, but they're much more affordable and still offer good corrosion resistance. When choosing outdoor screws, it's important to use the right bits and tools. Regular steel bits will work for most applications, but if you're working with hardened steel screws, you'll need carbide-tipped bits. And if you're working in an area where moisture is an issue, it's always a good idea to use waterproof sealant on your screws to further protect against rust and corrosion. 

Size 

Most screws are made of metal and have a relatively sharp point. They are inserted into an object so that they can be fastened to another object. The most important factor in screw selection is length. The general rule of thumb is that the screw should enter at least half the thickness of the bottom material, e.g. 3/4″ into a 2 x 4. Another factor to consider is the screw’s diameter, or gauge. Screws come in gauges 2 through 16. Most of the time you’ll want to go with a 8 screw. If working with very thick or heavy material, go for 12-14, or with finer woodworking, 6 are often the best choice. 

How do I choose a wood screw?

Screw technology has been around for a long time and there are many different types of screws to choose from. It is important, though not always easy in practice due to their complexity - understanding the principles behind each type will help you decide which one would be best suit your needs!

Length: Wood screws are the key to a strong, durable project. They should be long enough so that they can securely hold both boards together without either side slipping or popping out when you put pressure on it with your hand - but not too much longer than this! 

Thickness: The screw should be thick enough to grab onto the two boards. If it isn't, then there's a chance that they'll come apart when you try and start screws in them - which would mean useless pieces of wood!

Pilot Holes: Drilling a pilot hole in hardwoods can be tricky, but it's important to do so before driving your screw. If we were talking about softwood such as pine or cedar then I would recommend going ahead with this step and not worrying too much if some of them get damaged because there will only ever really been one edge that gets used anyways- which makes recovering fairly easy through sanding down any exposed faces once everything has set into place again properly aligned across both pieces being fastened together.
