Wood Screws

Wood screws are screws that are designed for wood to wood applications. With large cutting threads and a smooth shank near the head, wood screws are designed to cut threads into the wood and slide through the top piece of wood pulling it firmly against the board beneath. These screws come with a sharp point. In some instances, they have a self-drilling point which is a notch cut out of the screw to allow chipping to occur.

Wood screws are commonly made in zinc plated steel and stainless steel, although they can be found in brass and silicon bronze as well. They usually require a pre-drilled hole to avoid splitting or cracking of the installation wood, especially in hardwood or near edges. Wood screws come in a variety of sizes and are easy to remove without causing damage to the materials. While wood screws are designed for wood they also provide excellent retention in particle board and composite as well.
