The type 23 point style thread cutting screw tapers down to a blunt point with a large cutting surface suitable for soft metal in addition to offering good chip clearance; it needs only minimal rotation force to be installed.
Its excellent corrosion resistance and strength make 18-8 stainless steel one of the best materials in the world.
Surfaces that are plain lack a surface has no finish or coating.
During installation, the nuts that hold the tool's head on the mate surface are provided by a flange, as well as six flat sides, so a wrench can control it from any side.

Questions & Answers

A starter hole must be drilled in aluminum. How big or how little??

This is not a self-tap but a self-weave. Hence, drilling the hole at a slightly smaller angle than how the bolt is used makes the hole seem smaller. A smaller ship has a distance between 1/64 and 1/32.

Terrible
3/5

There have been many attempts to make the metal thick or brittle, with mixed results. I managed to hit a hole of about 3/16 metal from four samples. They were so soft they melted away into ash. The metal was not hard as you might expect.

Useless
3/5

A self-tapping machine is supposed to work. You don't need much help. The strip out is very straightforward. It is not a waste of money to keep money in the bank.
