Pozi Countersunk Machine Screws DIN 965Z

Our DIN 965Z Pozi Countersunk Machine Screws are a versatile and reliable fastening solution, ideal for applications requiring a flush, neat finish. Available in a comprehensive range of sizes from M1.6 to M10, these screws cater to a wide variety of project requirements. Choose from two high-quality stainless steel grades: A2 stainless for excellent general corrosion resistance, or A4 stainless for enhanced resistance in more aggressive environments, such as marine or chemical applications.

Most commonly used in conjunction with Washers and Nuts, these products pare used to hold fasteners in place, joining two or more parts together. We also offer Socket Head Screws and Hex Head Screws

Key Features:

• Countersunk Head: Designed to sit flush with the material surface, providing a smooth and professional finish, preventing snags and improving aesthetics.
• Pozi vs Phillips Drive: Offers improved cam-out resistance compared to traditional Phillips drives, ensuring more secure installation and reducing the risk of damage to the screw head or driver bit.
• Metric Threading (M1.6 - M10): Compatible with standard metric tapped holes and nuts, offering broad applicability.
• A2 & A4 Stainless Steel: Provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity and durability in various indoor and outdoor conditions.

How to install a countersunk screw:

Achieving a perfectly flush finish with DIN 965Z countersunk screws requires proper preparation:

1. Pilot Hole Drilling: Drill a pilot hole in your material that is slightly smaller than the screw's major diameter. This provides a guide for the screw and prevents the material from splitting.
2. Countersinking: Use a countersink bit to create a conical recess in the material. The countersink bit should match the angle of the screw head (typically 90 degrees for most countersunk screws).
3. Depth Adjustment: Carefully adjust the depth of the countersink so that the screw head sits perfectly flush with the surface when fully tightened. It's often best to test on a scrap piece of material first.
4. Driving the Screw: Use a Pozi drive screwdriver or bit that correctly fits the screw head. Apply firm, steady pressure while driving the screw to ensure it seats properly without stripping the head. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the material or the screw.
