One type is for fastening wood, the other for fastening sheet metal. The two types are similar in all respects other than their threads. Wood screws have relatively wide-spaced, medium-depth threads. ... Sheet metal screws have deeper, closer, sharper threads that always extend over the entire length of the screw.
