About Tapping Screws

Steel Phillips Drilling Screws for Joining Wood to Metal
These screws speed installation by drilling, tapping, and fastening wood and metal in a single operation. Length is measured from the top of the head.
Screws with cutting wings drill a slightly larger hole in the wood to allow for expansion. The wings break off when they contact metal, so the screw can tap the remainder of the hole.
Zinc-plated steel screws resist corrosion in wet environments.
Corrosion-resistant-coated steel screws are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber.

Stainless Steel Phillips Drilling Screws for Joining Wood to Metal
18-8 stainless steel screws have good chemical resistance and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. They speed installation by drilling, tapping, and fastening wood and metal in a single operation. Length is measured from the top of the head.
Screws with cutting wings drill a slightly larger hole in the wood to allow for expansion. The wings break off when they contact metal, so the screw can tap the remainder of the hole.

Torx Drilling Screws for Joining Wood to Metal
A Torx drive has more points of contact than a Phillips drive, allowing you to apply extra force with less slippage or damage to the recess. These screws speed installation by drilling, tapping, and fastening wood and metal in a single operation. Made from zinc-plated steel, they resist corrosion in wet environments. Length is measured from the top of the head.

Thread-Forming Screws for Joining Wood to Metal
Thread-forming screws press threads into drilled holes for a tight vibration-resistant assembly. All are beveled under the head for use in countersunk holes. A Torx drive allows you to apply extra force with less slippage or damage to the recess. They're black-phosphate steel to resist corrosion in dry environments. Length is measured from the top of the head.

Screws for Joining Sheet Metal to Wood
Able to penetrate overlapping sheets, these screws have a secure hold in wood. The hex head allows for a firm grip with a wrench, while a rubber washer provides a watertight seal. They're corrosion-resistant-coated steel to resist corrosion in wet environments and minimize reactions between dissimilar metals. Length is measured from under the washer.
