Half-tooth Wood Screws

Description

– Half-tooth wood screws, also known as half-threaded screws, are a type of fastener designed to provide a tight and secure hold in wood.
– They are characterized by having threads only along a portion of the screw’s length, typically from the tip up to a smooth shank, which allows for a stronger grip in the wood.
– This design feature is particularly useful for pulling one board closer to another, creating a tighter joint compared to fully threaded screws.

Key Features:
Partial Threading:
The defining characteristic is the partial threading, leaving a smooth shank area beneath the screw head.
Shank:
The smooth shank allows the screw to pull the first board tightly against the second board before the threads engage the second board, creating a tighter joint.
Tapered Thread:
Wood screws typically have a tapered thread, which helps them cut their own threads into the wood.
Pointed Tip:
A sharp, pointed tip facilitates easy penetration into the wood, even without pre-drilling in many cases.
Material:
Commonly made from materials like galvanized steel, stainless steel, or bronzed steel, offering varying degrees of corrosion resistance and durability.
Head Types:
Available in various head types such as flat, oval, round, or specialty heads like Phillips, square drive
