Coarse Thread
Due to the large diameter and
thread pitch, our No.8 coarse-
thread screws offer a strong
hold in softwoods and composite
materials.
Use in woods and composites such as:
• Pine • Cedar • Basswood • Poplar • Plywood • MDF • Particle Board
Fine Thread
Because the smaller diameter and
thread pitch of our No.7 fine-thread
screws reduce the chance of splitting
the material, we recommend them for
hardwoods.
Use in woods such as:
• Ash • Oak • Maple • Walnut • Hickory • Cherry • Mahogany • Birch
