Woodworking Fasteners

Wood fasteners are special self-tapping wood screws and self-tapping screws. They are cylindrical shanks with external thread and a head, made of hardened carbon steel or alloy steel with a protective coating.

They differ from metal fasteners in having a steeper thread profile angle and a pointed tip. For wood screws, the thread covers from a third to half of the shank length; for self-tapping screws, it runs the full length, and the tip resembles a spade drill bit.

Wood fasteners feature a round, raised countersunk or countersunk head with a slot, and sometimes a hex head for a wrench.

Applications

Self-tapping screws and wood screws are used in the production of upholstered and cabinet furniture, roofing work, repairs, and the manufacture of souvenirs and decorative items. These fasteners join not only wooden parts, but also plastic parts, as well as fiberboard and particleboard parts.

Installation features

When assembling parts, wood screws and self-tapping screws are driven in with a power screwdriver, without pre-drilling holes.
