What is a sheet metal screw? Sheet Metal Screws: Usually threaded all the way to their head, these will work in wood, but wood screws shouldn’t be used in metal . Most of these screws are self-tapping in that they only require a pre-drilled hole (pre-drill sizes), but some come with self-drilling or self-tapping tips. Here’s a large list of different types of tips, the more common ones appear to be A, AB (pointed) and B (no point).
A sheet metal screw is used for tightening metal objects. The tip and the threads are quite sharp, thereby enabling them to easily get cut through the hard metal surface or any other type of surface.
These types of fasteners are used to fasten one metal object with another and are also used to attach metal object with a wooden, plastic or any other kind of surface.
Commonly there are two types of metal sheet screws available in the market. While standard units feature a pointed tip, which is ideal for cutting into the metal surface, the thread-cutting or self tapping screws feature a notched tip, which can easily cut into the metallic surface without pre-drilling. But pre-drilling is required for the standard types, featuring a pointed tip.
