Abstract
A mold, punch and workpiece are provided. In a preferred embodiment, a tapering outer edge is provided, along with a plurality of rib sets arranged circumferentially about the outer edge, and a ramp. A ramp may be located to facilitate the removal of burrs. Various slot patterns may be provided or formed, including star-shapes/Torx® slots. Using the present invention, a driver bit may be more securely fit to the slot of a screw, for example, allowing the screw to be threaded into a machined part more securely and smoothly, reducing rocking, shaking or tilt.
