Square Point Screws

Custom and Special Square Point Screws

Pattern Fasteners manufactures standard, special and custom square point screws for industrial, mechanical and precision engineering applications.

Square point screws feature a four-sided point designed to create positive contact with the mating surface. The geometry can provide strong resistance to movement and help maintain secure positioning within demanding assemblies.

We manufacture square point screws to customer drawings, existing samples and bespoke specifications, with close control over thread form, point dimensions, overall length, materials, hardness and finishes.

What Is a Square Point Screw?

A square point screw has a four-sided point rather than a cone, flat or cylindrical tip.

The point geometry concentrates contact along defined edges, helping the screw engage securely with the mating component.

Depending on the application, square point screws may be used to provide:

• Positive locking

• Resistance to rotational movement

• Secure engagement with shafts or components

• Strong localised contact

• Accurate positioning

• Reliable performance in vibrating assemblies

Custom and Non-Standard Square Point Screws

Many applications require square point screws with dimensions or features that are not readily available as standard parts.

Pattern Fasteners can manufacture screws with:

• Metric and imperial threads

• Standard and non-standard diameters

• Fine and coarse thread pitches

• Bespoke overall lengths

• Custom square point dimensions

• Specialist point lengths

• Fully or partially threaded designs

• Custom head and drive styles

• Tight dimensional tolerances

• Cross drilling and secondary modifications

• Specialist materials

• Heat treatment and controlled hardness

• Protective and decorative finishes

Components can be manufactured from your technical drawing, existing sample or individual specification.

Square Point Screws vs Cone Point Screws

Point geometry affects how the screw engages with the mating component.

A square point screw creates contact along defined edges and can provide strong resistance to movement.

A cone point screw concentrates contact at a tapered point, making it useful for positive locking and precise location.

The correct choice will depend on the mating material, required grip, adjustability and service conditions.

Square Point Screws vs Dog Point Screws

A square point screw is generally used where secure engagement with the mating surface is required.

A dog point screw uses a cylindrical projection to locate within a hole, slot or recess.

As a simple guide:

Square point: strong surface engagement and resistance to movement
Dog point: positive location and controlled alignment

Materials and Heat Treatment

Square point screws can be manufactured in a range of materials to suit different strength, wear and corrosion requirements.

Options may include:

• Carbon steel

• Alloy steel

• Stainless steel

• Brass

• Aluminium

• Titanium

• Specialist and non-ferrous alloys

Heat treatment and controlled hardness can be specified where increased tip durability, wear resistance or mechanical performance is required.

Finishes

Protective and decorative finishes can also be incorporated into the specification, including:

• Bright zinc plating

• Chemical black

• Phosphate coating

• Tin plating

• Chrome plating

• Customer-specified coatings
