Materials and Finishes

Machine Screws come in grades matched to the load, from carbon steel through high-strength alloy and corrosion-resistant stainless, with finishes from plain and zinc through hot-dip galvanized for outdoor and washdown service. Pair them with metric screws, Finished Hex Nuts, and Flat Washers to round out the assembly.

How to Choose

Match the grade to the working load and the finish to the environment after locking in diameter, thread pitch, and length. Harsh or corrosive settings call for alloy or stainless.

Machine Screws Industry Applications

Machine Screws are specified across the trades. Electrical and furniture assemble enclosures, panels, and equipment with them; manufacturing and automotive fasten sheet metal, ductwork, and housings with them; and marine & offshore mate them with tapped holes and nuts. Zinc and stainless, coarse and fine thread, in the gauges and lengths assembly and sheet metal work require.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a machine screw?

A machine screw is a uniformly threaded small-diameter fastener that mates with a nut or a tapped hole, used to assemble metal parts, electronics, and machinery.

How is machine screw length measured?

Machine screw length is measured by how far it sits below the surface: from under the head for flat countersunk heads, and from under the bearing surface for pan, round, and hex heads. Diameter is given by gauge number or fraction.

What size drill bit for 10 machine screw?

Match the pilot to the screw gauge and the material thickness; harder or thicker metal needs a pilot near the screw minor diameter. The conversion chart gives drill sizes by gauge.

Can I order in bulk or request a quote?

Yes. Stock covers small orders and full production runs. Reach out for a quote or product help.
