Round Head
Compare your fastener to our visual size guide to confirm M-size, pitch and length.
Match your driver bit to the screw recess - Phillips, Pozi, slot or internal hex. Our Driving range lists the bit size for every drive type we stock.
Round head machine screws have a domed upper surface with a flat bearing underface. Once the standard head style for machine screws, round head has largely been replaced by pan head in modern engineering — but it remains in use for legacy equipment maintenance, heritage restoration, electrical fittings and applications where the specific rounded profile is specified.
Also known as: Dome Head, Round Head, Bun Head.
Fully threaded with uniform diameter — requires a pre-tapped hole or nut. The domed head sits above the surface with no sharp edges.
