Hex Head Bolts and Cap Screws

Hex Bolts have a six-sided hexagonally shaped head designed to be mated with a nut.

Conversely, Cap Screws are designed to be threaded into a pre-tapped hole, for example a piece of machinery. Cap Screws are typically produced to tighter tolerances than bolts and will feature a washer face under the head and a chamfered point.
