Screws for Timber Projects

The Timbermate screw is a great overall performance screw.  The saw-tooth point and square drive recess reduce the amount of torque required to install these screws, making them ideally suited for use with battery operated power tools.

Available in Class 2 coating.  Sizes range from 3.0x12mm to 5.0x75mm.             `

One of the main benefits of using timber screws is that they provide a strong, secure hold in wood. They are also relatively easy to install, making them a popular choice for DIY projects.

When choosing timber screws, it is important to consider the size and length of the screw, as well as the type of wood that you will be using. For example, if you are working with softwood (SA Pine), you will likely want to use a smaller screw, whereas hardwood may require a larger screw for a secure hold.

Another important consideration is the thread of the screw. Coarse thread screws are typically used for softwood, while fine thread screws are better suited for hardwood. This is because the coarse thread provides a better grip in softwood, while the fine thread is less likely to split hardwood.

It’s also important to pay attention to the head of the screw. For example, if you want a screw to be flush with the surface of the wood, you should use a countersunk head (CSK). If you want the screw to sit above the surface, you should use a raised head.
