SD500 self drilling are made of 316 series stainless steel with a heat treated hardened drill tip for the purpose of drilling into steel – up to 12mm thick.
The torx head drive ensures consistent driving in hard still without slipping or damaging the head or drill tip.
Other features include a winged tip, this clears a hole in the timber surface when drilling to enable the countersunk head to sit neatly flush.
A pilot hole can be used in the surface to help center your screws however it is not necessary. For best practice allow the full tip and a few threads to protrude through the steel on the blind side – this will increase the life of your structure.
