tornillo embase

English translation: can only send you this

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering / screws
Spanish term or phrase: tornillo embase
There's no context here at all. It's a product list and just says "tornillos embase y arandela incorporada." The screws in the photo look something like the ones here http://www.chunyu.com.tw/eindex/product/main2f.htm, second row from the top, left side to middle.

I have this awful feeling that it's really supposed to be "envase," but I still can't find anything on that, except for the "cargo container screws" mentioned on the page above, and another mention of "packing screws." Not exactly overwhelming references.

Any ideas?

I still don't know exactly what this is, and the client hasn't responded yet to a request for further information. I did find the glossary helpful in confirming some other things in the translation, so I'll give the points here. If and when I finally find out the translation for "tornillo embase," I'll come back and put it in the glossary.

Thanks to all who answered.

tapping screw


Explanation:
just as per title in the web site you indicate. You are no doubt correct that this ought to be "envase" and if so, the tapping makes so much more sense
