Flat Head

A flat head machine screw is a type of fastener used for joining two or more objects together. It is characterized by its flat or countersunk head, which is designed to sit flush with or below the surface of the material it is fastening. This type of screw is also commonly referred to as a flathead screw or countersunk screw. Key characteristics of a flat head machine screw include: Head Design: The flat head is designed to be flush with or countersunk into the material, creating a smooth and level surface when the screw is fully tightened. Versatility: Flat head screws are versatile and find applications in various industries and projects, including woodworking, cabinetry, furniture assembly, and general construction. Countersinking: When using flat head screws, it's common to create a countersunk hole to accommodate the head, allowing it to sit flush with the surface. This helps prevent snagging and provides an aesthetically pleasing finish. Flat head machine screws come in different materials, sizes, and thread pitches to suit different applications and materials. They are often used when a flush or smooth finish is desired and when the screw head should not protrude or cause obstruction on the material's surface.
