A machine screw is generally a smaller fastener threaded the entire length of its shank. Machine screws are used in fastening nearly all types of hard materials. Especially useful in metal-to-metal or where heavy duty fastening is required. Commonly used with flat or lockwashers.
Machine screws are used with nuts or screwed directly into a threaded receptacle to fasten metal parts together. Measured from the underside of the head to the tip of the screw to obtain fastener length. If nuts are needed, use with nuts of the same finish and threading for proper fit.
Fasten with a screwdriver to reduce the risk of over-tightening to protect the screw and fastened material.
