Product Overview
Drill point forming machines, also known as self-drilling screw forming machines, produce the drill tip on self-drilling screws that allows the screw to cut its own pilot hole in metal or wood without pre-drilling.

FAQ
Q1: What is a self-drilling screw and why does it need a drill point?
A self-drilling screw (also called a Tek screw) has a drill point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling before installation. The drill point cuts its own pilot hole, allowing the screw to be driven directly into metal, wood, or other materials. The drill point forming machine produces this feature.
Q2: What size range can these machines produce?
Both the SF122 and SF212 models support #6 through #14 screws with diameters from 5.5mm to 12mm, covering commonly used self-drilling screw sizes for construction and automotive applications.
Q3: What is the production speed?
Production speed ranges from 95 to 605 pieces per minute, depending on screw size, material, and forming requirements. Smaller screws typically run at higher speeds.
Q4: What is the difference between the SF122 and SF212?
The SF212 has a more powerful main motor (10HP vs 7.5HP) and larger overall dimensions (180×220×200cm vs 180×220×180cm). Both models share the same production speed range and size capacity.
Q5: Can the machine handle different screw head types?
The machine is designed for drill tip forming on self-drilling screws with various head types, including hex head, pan head, and countersunk head, provided screw diameter and length fall within the specified range.
Q6: What maintenance is required for the drill point forming machine?
Regular maintenance includes lubrication of moving parts, inspection of forming tools for wear, cleaning of the vibration feeder, and periodic checking of electrical connections. Forming tool replacement is typically the most frequent maintenance item.
Q7: How does SourcingProChina support buyers sourcing this equipment?
SourcingProChina is a China-based sourcing agent that identifies qualified manufacturers, coordinates specification confirmation, and supports order follow-up between overseas buyers and Chinese suppliers of drill point forming machines.
