Choosing a Screw

Fine Thread

Because the smaller diameter

and thread pitch of our #7

fine-thread screws reduce the

chance of splitting the material,

we recommend them for hardwoods.

Deep square drive 

improves driver 

engagement and 

reduces the 

possibility of 

cam-out.

   Use in woods such as:

   • Ash  • Oak  • Maple  • Walnut  • Hickory  • Cherry  • Mahogany  • Birch

Coarse Thread

Due to the large diameter

and thread pitch, our #8

coarse-thread screws offer a 

strong hold in softwoods and 

composite materials.

Self-Tapping 

auger point 

eliminates the 

need to drill a 

pilot hole.

Use in woods and composites such as:

• Pine  • Cedar  • Basswood  • Poplar • Plywood • MDF• Particle Board
