Welcome to America Tile Forum, the USA Tile Industry. The Tile Association of America.screws
A screw and a bolt (see Differentiation between bolt and screw below) are similar types of fastener typically made of metal and characterized by a helical ridge, called a male thread (external thread). Screws and bolts are used to fasten materials by the engagement of the screw thread with a similar female thread (internal thread) in the matching part.
Screws are often self-threading (also known as self-tapping) where the thread cuts into the material when the screw is turned, creating an internal thread that helps pull fastened materials together and prevents pull-out. There are many screws for a variety of materials; materials commonly fastened by screws include wood, sheet metal, and plastic.

Socket screws
Hello all, What is the best way of shortening a socket screw? I have had to replace some existing ones with longer screws but they are a bit too long. Don't want to bugger up any of my tools by using the wrong thing. Thanks Kirstie- klouan
