Product Description
Machine Screws, also referred to as Machine Bolts, are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes. They come in a variety of head types and drive styles, but are generally available in smaller sizes.
Brass is rust proof, corrosion resistant and polishes to a rich, golden color. Brass is easily soldered and brazed and accepts plating readily. The typical composition is 70% Copper and 30% Zinc. Strength increases with a higher percentage of Zinc.
Pan head fasteners have a low, large cylindrical head with a high rounded top edge for higher tightening torques - these fasteners are often recommended to replace older head styles such as round, binding, or truss-head where possible. The Phillips drive style was originally designed so that the driver would slip out under extreme torque, preventing over-tightening and damage to the fastener or the material.
A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine.

Brass Machine Screws
By C. White
The advantage of using brass screws is that they are relatively easy to cut cleanly to length. Either use a screw cutter or thread a nut above the point to cut and cut the screw then unscrew the nut over the cut to straighten the thread area back out.The second advantage of brass is that it is relatively corrosion resistant - it will eventually darken but never rust.Brass is strong enough for most home uses - obviously for automotive or aircraft use stainless steel is required.These are well made brass screws at a reasonable price.

By D. Sauer
These are a good deal. They're adequately strong, and look pretty. Mostly, though, they're pretty long - I bought these because they cost less than any shorter length, and I can just cut them to size.
