A type of self-tapping screw that cuts its thread by the removal of material as opposed to a thread-forming screw which forms its thread by displacement of the material; thread forming screws are to be used with softer materials than thread cutting ones. 3, record 1, English, - thread%2Dcutting%20screw

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, record 1, English, - thread%2Dcutting%20screw

A screw with a specially hardened thread that makes it possible for the screw to form its own internal thread in sheet metal and soft materials when driven into a hole. 2, record 2, English, - self%2Dtapping%20screw
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
There are two types of self-tapping screws: a thread-forming screw which forms its mating thread by displacement rather than by the removal of any material (this can be used only with materials sufficiently soft to allow this) and a thread-cutting screw which cuts its mating thread. Both types are driven with the aid of a pilot hole. 3, record 2, English, - self%2Dtapping%20screw
