What is a Flat Head Screw?
A flat head screw is a type of fastener that has a flat top and a cylindrical shaft. It is designed to be driven into material with a flat-tipped screwdriver or an Allen wrench. The head of the screw sits flush with the surface of the material, making it ideal for applications where a low profile is desired.
What Angle is a Flat Head Screw?
The angle of a flat head screw is typically 82 degrees. This angle allows the head of the screw to sit flush with the surface of the material when it is driven in. The angle also helps to ensure that the screw will not slip out when it is tightened. The 82 degree angle is standard for most flat head screws, although some manufacturers may offer variations on this angle.
