Sheet metal screws

If you work on a project involving fitting pieces of metal together, you may require special tools known as sheet metal screws. They are used to tightly grip two metal sheets together. They can be commonly found in various building projects, both large and small. In this sheet metal screw guide, we will cover everything from what sheet metal screws are to why they matter and how to make the best use out of them for your projects. 

There are some things to consider when selecting sheet metal screws for your project. Which brings me to step one — what kind of metal are you working with? Depending on the metal you are using, different screws may be needed. You will also need to consider the thickness of the metal sheets you will be joining. There are different types and sizes of sheet metal screws that you need to select for your job. The JQS Set screws also have to worry about their finish. The finish is what gives your screw its look, and it can change the appearance of your finished project. Be sure to select screws that fit the aesthetic you desire for your project.

How to effectively drive sheet metal screws for a secure hold

Sheet metal screws are easy to use with a few tools. Drill or screwdriver (power tools make life easier here) Before anything else, create a pilot hole in the sheet metal from where the screw is going to get inserted. This is an easy way for the screw to get in without twisting or breaking the metal. Once the hole is made, insert the JQS extension screw into the hole and carefully tighten it with the drill or a screwdriver. The screw must not be overtightened as that will cause the breakage of the screw as well as not holding it in its position. After getting the screw in just give it a little twist to make sure its secure and will hold the metal sheets together correctly.
