Thread cutting screw ... For this type of screw, the off-center shank slot provides true cutting action, eliminating a separate tapping operation and generating a perfectly mated thread that contributes to stronger fastening. When compared to machine screws in tapped holes, fewer thread cutting screws will achieve the same holding power. Thread cutting screws may be removed and redriven.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - thread%2Dcutting%20screw
