410 Stainless Steel Pointed Screw
Specification
410 Stainless Steel Hex Head Pointed Screws
PO JUN offers #12 410 stainless steel pointed screws for assemblies that require a sharp-point fastener and external hex drive. Available lengths range from 3/4" to 4-1/2", giving buyers options for different component thicknesses and fastening depths.
The hex head accepts a matching socket or nut driver, while the pointed tip helps position the screw at the fastening location. Unlike a self-drilling screw, this product has a sharp point rather than a fluted drill point. Its suitability for an assembly depends on the receiving material, hole preparation, and required thread engagement.
Hex Drive, Sharp Point, and Washer Configuration
Socket-Driven Installation
The external hex head provides tool access for fastening brackets, panels, and hardware where the screw head can remain above the surface. Check the available socket clearance when the fastening position is close to a fold, corner, or adjacent component.
Pointed Tip for Positioning
The sharp tip helps locate the screw before driving. In a suitable receiving material or prepared pilot hole, the tapping threads form the mating thread as the screw advances.
A pointed tip does not mean the screw can penetrate every material without preparation. Metal assemblies generally require a suitable pilot hole unless the specific material and thickness have been validated for direct piercing.
Head-and-Washer Assembly
The product photo shows a washer assembly beneath the hex head. For buyers matching an existing part, washer dimensions and material can be as important as screw length.
Include your required washer configuration in the inquiry. Where the fastening point needs weather sealing, the washer material, compression, and completed joint must be evaluated for that purpose; appearance alone does not establish waterproof performance.

Confirm the thread dimensions, effective thread length, and washer configuration for the selected size. When matching a sample, include how the screw length was measured.
Matching the Screw to Your Assembly
These pointed screws can be evaluated for panel-to-support connections, mounting brackets, and equipment hardware where the receiving material is compatible with the thread design.
For metal panels or brackets, the pilot-hole size and receiving material thickness influence thread formation and holding performance. For wood-backed assemblies, timber density, edge distance, and embedment depth affect installation. Plastics require separate testing because cracking, deformation, and long-term creep can change the joint’s performance.
Choose the screw length around the complete assembly—not just the visible panel. Allow for the attached component and washer, then check the depth available in the receiving material and clearance behind it.
Why Specify 410 Stainless Steel?
410 is a hardenable stainless steel used in fasteners where material hardness is an important part of the design. Actual screw performance depends on the finished material condition and manufacturing process, not the grade name alone.
For outdoor, coastal, or chemically exposed applications, describe the environment when requesting a quote. Corrosion suitability should be reviewed alongside the fastening requirement rather than assuming all stainless steel grades perform alike.
Request a Quote from PO JUN
Send PO JUN your required length, order quantity, receiving material, and washer requirements. A drawing, sample reference, or assembly photo helps identify the correct configuration without a lengthy specification exchange.
For repeat production orders, include your size breakdown, destination country, and requested delivery date. Any material documents, packaging, or label requirements can be reviewed with the same inquiry.
Share your existing screw sample or application details to start matching the fastener to your next order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace a self-drilling screw with this pointed screw?
Not without reviewing the installation method. A self-drilling screw has a drill point designed to produce a hole within a specified drilling range. A sharp-point screw may need a prepared hole, so the two are not direct substitutes.
Does #12 identify the socket size?
No. #12 is the nominal screw size, not the tool size. Confirm the hex head’s width across flats before selecting a socket or nut driver.
Can these screws fasten into a machine-thread nut?
They should not be treated as substitutes for machine screws. Tapping threads must be matched to the intended receiving material and hole design, rather than a conventional machine-thread nut.
What should I check if a screw spins without tightening?
Stop driving and inspect the receiving material and hole. An oversized hole, damaged threads, insufficient engagement, or excessive installation torque can prevent the joint from clamping. Replacing the screw with a longer one does not automatically correct the problem.
