Generic Wood Screws 1½ x 8mm Countersunk Zinc

Wood Screws 1½ x 8mm

The Wood Screws 1½ x 8mm provide a reliable fastening solution for general carpentry, cabinetry, and internal timber framing. These carbon steel fasteners feature a zinc-plated finish to resist corrosion in indoor environments. They are engineered to provide high pull-out resistance when used in softwoods, hardwoods, and composite boards.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and carpenters rely on these fasteners for high-volume applications where speed and grip are essential. The sharp point ensures an immediate bite into the wood fibers, reducing the risk of the screw walking across the surface. This specific size is a staple for fixing 18mm or 25mm boards to subframes, as the 38mm length provides sufficient penetration into the receiving timber. These items perform consistently in workshop environments and on active construction sites where efficiency is the priority.

• Securing hinges and hardware to solid wood or MDF doors and frames.

• General assembly of furniture components and internal cabinetry carcasses.

• Installing skirting boards and architraves to timber stud work.

Product Highlights

Corrosion Resistance

The bright zinc plating protects the carbon steel core from oxidation in standard humidity conditions.

Structural Design

• Single-thread geometry offers high torque transfer and secure holding power.
• Countersunk head allows the fastener to sit flush or below the material surface.
• Hardened steel construction prevents snapping during high-torque driving into dense grain.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always use a correctly sized driver bit to prevent cam-out and head stripping during installation.

• Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when working with hardwoods to prevent the timber from splitting.

• Store these fasteners in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the protective zinc coating.

• Ensure the countersink depth is consistent across the workpiece for a professional finish before painting or staining.
