There are two types of self-tapping screw: 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. 1, record 1, English, - thread%2Dforming%20screw
