M4.5 Cheese Head Screw (Type B)
This is a 25IP Torx B-type fully threaded precision cheese head screw, size M4.5×10.75 mm, with a TORXPLUS drive recess for high-torque locking without cam-out or recess damage. Cold-headed and finish-turned in one piece; the fully threaded design suits multi-layer thin-part fastening.

Overview
A cheese head tooling screw (Type B) has a cylindrical head with a flat top and a defined head diameter, giving a larger bearing face than a countersunk screw of the same thread. It is used where the screw must clamp against a flat seat rather than sit flush, typically on tool clamping plates and fixture bodies. This listing: thread M4.5, thread length 10.75, pitch 0.75, head dia. 6.8, head height 3.4, drive TORXPLUS 25IP.
What sets this listing apart: Thread Dia. M (mm) M4.5 — the largest size in the series (series runs M2.2 to M4.5); Drive Depth I (mm) 1.90-2.10.
Advantages
The cylindrical head provides a flat bearing face perpendicular to the screw axis, so clamp load is distributed over an area rather than concentrated at a cone.
Type B geometry has a defined head height and diameter, so the screw can be used as a locating feature as well as a clamp.
The larger bearing area reduces surface pressure on soft fixture plates, preventing the indentation that makes a fixture lose accuracy over time.
Available with the same TORX PLUS drives as countersunk tooling screws, so the same driver set covers both head styles.
Applications
Tool clamping plates, fixture body assembly, die and mould clamping, modular fixture systems, and any joint that needs a flat bearing face rather than a flush head.
Cheese head screws protrude above the surface by the head height. Check the clearance envelope before substituting for a countersunk screw — the swap changes stack height by the full head height.
