Wood screws are suitable for joining wooden surfaces like cabinets, furniture parts, building jigs, clamping forms and mounting hardware & trims in woodworking, maintenance and repair applications. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of these screws from Duraspin, Fabory, Fast Cap, Grainger & Super-Strut. These self-tapping screws require a pre-punched or drilled hole (depending on the hardness of the material) for installation / operation. These wood screws have steel, stainless steel, carbon steel or brass construction for retaining their shape and offering high abrasion resistance, even after hammering.
As common as Phillips drives. Feature a narrow opening to fit flat-head drive tools like a slotted driver or even a coin / pocket knife. Can slip or strip the fastener if tightened excessively.
Deep, six-pointed, star-shaped groove to use less force for turning and prevent slipping. Use with a Torx-head driver and take care not to overtighten.
One of the most common types of screw driving mechanisms. Have a cross shape at the centre that prevents the screw from overtightening.
Have a hexagonal head sticking out from the surface that requires less force to tighten and loosen even when dirty / rusty / painted over. Do not have a notch that gunks up.
Deep, four-pointed hole that can be tightened using a square driver / key for preventing slipping when the fastener is tightened. Also known as Robertson drives.
More corrosion resistant compared to zinc plating in wet environments; reduces reactions between dissimilar metals
Provides better corrosion resistance than zinc plating
For corrosion resistance & a yellow-coloured finish
Light-to-medium corrosion resistance with minimal light reflection
Mild-to-high corrosion resistance in wet environments
Features black chrome layer over the zinc plating for black appearance and additional protection
Provides high adhesion, wear protection & corrosion resistance in saltwater conditions
Lesser corrosion resistance, but better adhesion properties than zinc plating; suitable for dry environments
Much better corrosion resistance and forming properties as compared to traditional zinc coating
These standard head wood screws protrude above the surface for a uniform, finished appearance.
They are driven into wooden surfaces using an adjustable wrench, pliers or special driver bits. They are also called eye lags.
They are generally used in decorative applications. The rounded top offers a finished appearance and the bevelled design allows use in countersunk holes.
These screws are used in countersunk holes as they sit flush with the surface.
They can be tightened using a wrench for more fastening torque & a secure grip.
These screws have a fully threaded shank for tight fitting.
These screws have shoulders on their unthreaded area to prevent sheering & snapping off due to misdirected pressure on the attached components.
Provides hardness, structural rigidity and durability.
Corrosion, heat and fire-resistant properties with moderate structural rigidity.
Provides electrical conductivity & has non-magnetic nature; less strength than stainless steel; is corrosion-resistant in wet environments.
Their sharp pointed end allows penetrating into thin or soft materials like softwood or plastic-wood composite.
These screws have a blunt tip to distribute strength across the entire thread length for a strong hold in small holes.
These screws have a drilling tip to penetrate hardwood with less driving force.
Have a conical bottom under the head for tapering down to the shank.
Have a small-sized flat head & a slender shank for preventing splitting of the wooden surface.
Feature a flat, undercut, countersunk head with a flat bottom under the head.
This method cuts threads inside the material while causing less stress on the material and requiring less driving torque.
This method presses threads onto the desired material.
Wood screws are used on wooden surfaces whereas metal screws are used on metal surfaces or sheets. Generally, wood screws have shorter threading with lower pitch (threads per inch) compared to metal screws that have longer threading with higher pitch.
A pilot hole is required when installing these screws on hardwood / laminates / crack-prone wood, where final appearance matters. They can work without a pilot hole when used on softwood or applications where appearance does not matter.
