M6 Truss Head Screw Stainless Steel Phillips Self Taping Marine Grade

The M6 truss head screw is a screw with a 6mm external thread diameter and a sinking head. Truss head refers to a screw head that is extra wide and has a slightly rounded surface, or top. In other words, the head or top on the screw protrudes just above the surface to be fastened but contains a wider surface area just under the head. Ever Hardware provides the m6 truss head screw and customizable packaging.

These screws can be used for applications like securing thin membranes, such as one-ply, through insulation. Wooden truss head screws are also commonly used to attach cabinets to steel studs; or to attach sliding shelf supports, since the low-profile head of the truss head screw does not interfere with guide operation.
Truss head screws are well suited for sheet metal and other material with large diameter holes due to their wide head. Additionally, because of their low-dome shaped head, these screws make tampering with or removing the head difficult.

A self-tapping screw is a screw that can tap its own hole as it is driven into the material. For hard substrates such as metal or hard plastics, the self-tapping ability is often created by cutting a gap in the continuity of the thread on the screw, generating a flute, and cutting edge similar to those on a tap. Thus, whereas a regular machine screw cannot tap its own hole in a metal substrate, a self-tapping one can (within reasonable limits of substrate hardness and depth). For softer substrates such as wood or soft plastics, the self-tapping ability can come simply from a tip that tapers to a gimlet point (in which no flute is needed). Like the tip of a nail or gimlet, such a point forms the hole by displacement of the surrounding material rather than any chip-forming drilling/cutting/evacuating action.
