Here is a breakdown of the different types of bolts
Bolts – are a type of fastener made with external threads that pass through a hole and fasten in place with a nut to a specific torque spec.
Cap Screws - are similar to bolts, but with tighter tolerances.
Machine Screws - Normally used for precision applications.
Panel Screw - Has an unthreaded and threaded section below the head.
Sheet Metal Screw - Is a self-tapping or self-threading fastener with a nonuniform thread.

Re: Types of threaded fasteners “screws and bolts”
Hey, thanks for sharing. It's great to have a visual aid to help identify different heads, drive types, and bearing surfaces.I also want to share that I recently stumbled upon some helpful info about screws at https://www.scrooz.com.au/screws/batten-screws/. They have a wide range of screws, including batten screws which are perfect for fixing timber to timber or timber to metal. As a new member of this forum, I'm excited to learn more from everyone.
