Abstract
A tapping screw includes a screw head, a self-tapping thread portion and a drilling point. The drilling point has a pair of approximately axially extending flutes which are located diametrically opposite each other relative to the shank axis and include clearing surfaces and cutting surfaces. The cutting surfaces end in cutting edges facing the point of the screw and lateral outer knives. Immediately adjacent the cutting edges or cutting knives, the cutting surfaces have a convexly arched cross-sectional shape.
