A countersunk hole is used for flat head fasteners which have a flat top face and then a taper down from the top face. and the marine grade A4 stainless steel are particularly good where the screw heads are visible in outdoor free fit. Please note that the head shape can vary between a countersunk, double countersunk, and bugle and a softer edge. A countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing For example, M4 x 30 means that the major thread diameter (the external distance across the outside of the thread) is 4mm and the length is 30mm. Length is usually measured from the underside of the fastener head.

more commonly available 6-Lobe Pin drive. The tooling is therefore more specialised and harder for members popular. Once, they were typically used in applications requiring tamper resistance; as drivers becamehead. Torx and other lobed designs allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional A machine screw is a type of screw that is commonly used in industrial and manufacturing applications to secure components within engines, electronic products and general machinery. bicycle brake systems, hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics and are becoming increasingly to ASME B18.6.3. Typically found on consumer electronics and other small machinery where high torque

to DIN 965. Typically found on consumer electronics and other small machinery where high torque fasteners used where the screw head is going to be seen, as it gives a more attractive look than the flat countersunk in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Standard A2 stainless steelThe torx drive is designed to prevent "cam out", which makes them ideal for use with modern drill/drivers.
