RS PRO A2 304 Stainless Steel Pozidriv Countersunk Machine Screw

A high quality RS PRO machine screw with a flat countersunk head for flush mounting and a versatile Pozidriv groove for excellent grip when tightening. This machine screw has a metric thread and is manufactured from high quality A2 stainless steel which is highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

What is a machine screw?

A machine screw is similar to a bolt, but incorporates a socket or slot in the head which allows it to be turned with a screwdriver. The shank on a machine screw is straight rather than tapered, with a full and uniform thread along its entire length. Machine screws do not tap their threads into materials like wood screws, but are designed to be screwed into pre-tapped holes in the parts being fastened together. A threaded hole creates a stronger joint and a higher quality product.

What is a Countersunk Head Screw?

Countersunk head machine screws, also known as CSK screws, have a flat head design so that when placed into a pre-drilled countersunk hole, they will flush with the surface of the surrounding material. These screw heads are ideal for use when the screw heads need to be covered with a cap or when a flat surface is needed to place or secure objects.

What is a Pozidriv Head Type?

Pozidriv, or Pozi, stands for positive drive. This head type has a Phillips recess in the center, surrounded by four small indentations to create 8 points of contact. This design provides improved engagement and contact with the screwdriver and prevents ejection force when tightening or loosening the machine screw.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do M2.5, M3, M3.5, M4, M5 mean?

These measurements are found on metric screws, where the M stands for metric. The number after the M represents the nominal outside diameter of the screw in mm.

How do I cut a machine screw?

Damaged machine screw threads can prevent parts from fitting together properly, so care should be taken when cutting and proper tools should be used.

Cutting a small machine screw (up to standard size #10 or metric size M5 (5 mm))
Use a pair of multi-purpose wire strippers or electrician’s pliers with M2.5, M3, M3.5, M4, M5 threaded holes. These holes are designed for cutting bolts without damaging the threads. Open the jaws and thread the machine screw to the correct hole size and distance. Close by squeezing the tool handles to cut the screw where the two halves of the jaws meet. A clean cut without damaging the threads is achieved.

Cutting a large machine screw (over standard size #10 or metric size M5 (5 mm))
A hacksaw is best. Thread the nut onto the screw to the desired point on the head side of the cutting line. Place the screw in a vice or clamp to hold it in place while cutting, and cut the screw as straight as possible. When removing the nut, any threads damaged by the saw blade are repaired and realigned.
