Wood construction screws Galvanised 8.0 x 80 mm Torx - Per Piece

The Wovar wood construction screw galvanised is widely used in heavy and sturdy constructions. It is the improved version of the lag screw. Wood construction screws are also called wafer head screws or cabinet screws, and have a Torx 40 drive. This allows the screw to be easily and quickly driven into the wood with your power tool. Always use our high-quality torx 40 bits for installing. For even faster installation and extra comfort, our magnetic bit holders with 2 free torx 40 bits are recommended.

Advantages of wafer head timber screws

Why the wood construction screws, sometimes also cabinet screws, are so strong has everything to do with the wide screw head. This provides a large support and an enormous clampability. The Wovar wood construction screws are also provided with galvanised steel. This means that they are stronger than stainless steel screws. As a result, pre-drilling in soft wood narrower than 80 mm is not necessary, as is the case with lag screws. This is due to the convenient cutting point of the wafer head timber screws. Pre-drilling is recommended if you are working with hardwood or with beams thicker than 80 mm. Pre-drilling ensures that the wood construction screw does not go crooked in the wood or get stuck. To maintain sufficient traction, it is recommended to use our 6 mm hardwood drill bits. Pre-drilling is not necessary for wooden materials that are narrower than 80 mm. The head is approximately 20 mm wide.

The threads of the wood construction screws

The cabinet screws are partial thread. This has the advantage that no gap is created with wood on wood constructions. Apart from the wide wafer head timber, the Wovar wafer head timber screws have another big advantage. The wafer head timber screws have shank ribs. This ensures that wooden materials are pulled together extra tightly because shank ribs make room for the shank of the screw. This puts less stress on the screws and maintains optimum strength. The wood construction screws from Wovar have a coarse thread. Coarse thread shortens the screw-in torque so that you can use even more cabinet screws per battery charge.
