Fine Thread
Fine thread screws are recommended for
hardwoods as they reduce the chance of the
material splitting when driven.
Use in woods such as:
• Ash • Oak • Maple • Walnut • Hickory • Cherry • Mahogany • Birch
Coarse Thread
Due to a signifi cantly larger thread diameter,
coarse thread screws offer a much stronger hold
in composite materials such as MDF
and plywood.
Use in woods such as:
• Pine • Cedar • Basswood • Poplar • Plywood • Melamine• Particle Board
