Metroll Newcastle - Metal Applications

Wing Teks®

Specially designed to enable the fastener to fix timber to metal without the timber rising to the top of the screw while the metal is being drilled. Features a flat head with reaming cutters in the underside to enable the head of the fastener to self-embed for a flush or recessed finish.

How the Wing-Teks® Work
A.	The drill point drills the timber, as the wings counter bore the hole larger than the thread diameter. With the hole being larger the thread will not engage into the timber.
B.	After the Teks® point drills through the metal, the wings break off on contact with the metal.
C.	The thread cutting feature on the shank cuts a mating thread in the metal and the thread continues to engage. The head then clamps this material firmly together.

Fit driver to a power screwdriver set to HIGH - approx. 2500 rpm. (Driving too slowly may result in the wings not breaking off. The hole will be too large and the thread won't hold).
Place Wing Teks® on the driver bit, place at fastening position and push sharply to create a starting point.
