Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | SAE J78 does not include specifications for #7 diameter drill screws. | This table is only a guide and does not constitute a warranty of any type.
Features
- Minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drill screws. Drill time is 2.5 seconds for a 1 mm thick plate.
- May be used to attach plywood, soft woods or composition board to metal, or attach metal to metal
- The 410 stainless screw will drill through harder material than the 18-8. The stainless drill screws are usually supplied plain.
- A tapping screw with spaced threads and a drill point which drills its own hole. Allow the screw to form mating threads and produce a complete fastening system in a single operation.

Metallics JTEKDF2SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How thick a steel panel can a #10 x 1-1/2 self-drilling screw with a #2 drill point handle?
The Metallics JTEKDF2SS is rated for panel thicknesses of 0.035 to 0.110 inch, which covers light gauge steel studs, track and sheet metal. The #2 drill point drills its own hole and forms its own threads in one pass, so no pilot hole or tap is needed. Thicker structural steel is outside that range and needs a larger drill point.
2) What standards do these Type BSD self-drilling screws meet for a spec submittal?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2002 and the thread conforms to SAE J78 - 2013, with 16 threads per inch on the #10 diameter. The screw is also flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which matters on federally funded work.
3) Do I still need to pre-drill and tap when using these screws on metal framing?
No. A Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw has spaced threads plus a drill point, so it drills the hole and forms the mating thread in one operation. That removes the drill-bit and tap step, which is where the labour and tooling savings come from on a repetitive install.
4) Can I use these stainless self-drilling screws to fasten plywood or composition board to metal studs?
Yes. The JTEKDF2SS #10 x 1-1/2 screw is made for attaching plywood, soft woods or composition board to metal, and also metal to metal. The flat head lets it sit flush when countersunk into the wood face.
5) Is the 410 stainless screw or the 18-8 better for drilling harder metal?
Go with 410 for the drilling. The JTEKDF2SS is 410 stainless, and 410 drill screws will drill through harder material than 18-8. 18-8 is the choice when corrosion resistance outweighs drilling ability. The 410 screws are usually supplied plain, with no added coating.
6) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTEKDF2SS screw?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a Phillips drive with a 0.198 inch recess diameter and 0.124 inch depth, so a worn or undersized bit will cam out and chew the head. Keep the driver square to the work while the point is drilling.
7) How strong are these screws, and will they strip before seating in light steel?
Torsional strength is 61 lb-in minimum with a case hardness of Rockwell C38-46. Minimum torques for stainless self-drill screws match the steel versions, and drill time is about 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm plate. Set an impact or screwgun clutch below that torque figure and the fastener will seat without snapping the head off.
8) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTEKDF2SS?
They ship in a jar of 100 count, which is also the order minimum. Jar weight is 0.82 lbs. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
