What is a "machine screw"?
A machine screw is a type of screw with a uniform, threaded shaft designed for fastening metal parts or machinery components together. Machine screws come in various sizes and lengths, and their threads are finer compared to other types of screws, allowing for precise and tight fastening. They are commonly used in manufacturing, assembly, and repair work, particularly in mechanical and electronic devices, where strong, durable connections are needed.
