Chipboard Screw for Wood

Description

– Chipboard screws, also known as particleboard screws, are designed with coarse threads and a sharp point, making them ideal for fastening chipboard (particleboard), MDF, and other engineered wood products.
– They are typically self-tapping, meaning they can create their own hole as they are driven in, and their coarse threads provide a strong grip in the softer materials.

Key Features:
Coarse Threads:
Chipboard screws have a distinctive, widely spaced thread pattern that provides a secure hold in the relatively soft, composite material of chipboard.
Sharp Point:
The sharp point allows the screw to penetrate the material without needing a pilot hole (though a pilot hole can be helpful, especially with harder woods or for close-to-edge applications).
Self-Tapping:
Many chipboard screws are self-tapping, meaning they cut their own threads as they are driven in, simplifying installation.
Countersunk Head:
Chipboard screws often have a countersunk (flat) head, allowing the screw to sit flush with the surface of the material.
Material:
They are commonly made from steel and may be zinc-plated for corrosion resistance.
