Introduction to Wood Screw

Wood screws have always been the superior way to fasten wood to wood. There are different designs for hardwood, softwood, exterior and interior applications. There are precise lengths for delicate wood joinery, and they are easy to control. If there is a choice between screws and nails, it's almost always beneficial to use screws on any woodworking project.
Wood screws are used in all types of woodworking projects and can offer excellent holding power in wooden materials. They often feature a tapered point and deep threads, which provide strong grip and prevent the wood from splitting when driven into it. There are many different considerations when selecting the correct wood screw such as; length, diameter and holding weight.

Torque
Due to the way threads bury themselves in wood, they can actually be used instead of clamps. Threads bite into the wood, creating torque between the head of the screw and the two pieces of wood being joined together. If the wood has a warp, or gap that won't come together, screws will pull the wood together with force. If glue is added to the two pieces of wood before the screw is applied, a permanent bond will form, with the screw acting as a permanent clamp.
Removable
One overlooked benefit of screws---they are removable. In restoring, repairing, or if you realise that you have made a mistake, and need to take a step backward, the fact that you can remove a screw is priceless. For dismantling a deck, furniture or any woodworking project, if it has screws, they can be removed.
Easy to Use
Wood screws are easy to apply. They have a very sharp tip that initiates and penetrates the wood easily. You can pinpoint their location and with most building applications, you can use a wood screw without drilling a pilot hole. If you do need to drill a pilot hole in hardwood applications, you can pre-drill and put a screw in from any angle, upside down, sideways, or in places that are very tight and inaccessible. Wood screws are also faster than nails.
Inexpensive and Versatile
Wood screws are relatively inexpensive. For one reason, you don't need as many screws as nails for the same application. You can get specialised screws for particleboard, hard or soft wood, in any length. Wood screws are available in hardened steel varieties in different colours such as antique brass, and you can also buy them treated for outdoor use to repel rust.
Strength
Wood screws are stronger than nails. In areas where stress from wind, weight or heavy traffic occur, the shear strength of screws makes them superior. Nails can break, bend or shear off. Screws have a much higher tensile strength, and won't loosen like nails. If a screw does happen to become loose for any reason, it can be tightened back up again.

 

Types of Wood Screw

 

Slotted Wood Screw
Slotted wood screws are used in simple woodworking tasks, simple carpentry work, and applications that require minimal torque. They are often found in existing products and installations, and are also used in the restoration of antique furniture, vehicles, and equipment.

Hex Head Wood Screw
Hex Head Wood Screws, also known as hex wood bolts, hex socket screws, or hex head cap screws, have a six-sided head and a flat underside. They are threaded fasteners that can be tightened with a socket or wrench.
Hex Head Wood Screws are often used in larger screws because their shape allows for higher torque during tightening. The flat underside of the head can also accept a washer to create a larger load bearing surface.
Hex Head Wood Screws can be fully threaded or partially threaded. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, typically machinery and construction.

Flange Head Wood Screw
A flange head wood screw is a type of construction screw that is commonly used for universal purposes. Flange head screws have a flat rim, collar, or rib on the screw that can be used for strengthening or attachment. Flange head screws have a slightly larger diameter and flatter head than pan head screws.
Flange head wood screws are used for joining two wooden prisms or for joining a flat material (OSB, plywood) and a wooden prism. They can also be used for fixing solar panels to timber.

Eye Hook Dowel Scew
An eye hook dowel scew is a common hardware accessory used for architectural decoration and arts and crafts projects. It is also known as a screw thread eye bolt, wire eye lag, or eye screw.

Dowel Screw Hange Bolts
Dowel screws and hanger bolts are both double-ended fasteners used in wood applications. Both are used to create hidden joints or add an external thread.
Dowel screws are headless double ended fasteners with two tapered lag screw ends. Often used in woodworking and furniture manufacturing to create a hidden joint. Hanger Bolts are half machine screw and half lag screw.

How to Install a Standard Wood Screw

It is essential that you select a wood screw of the appropriate length and strength. Heavier screws should be used wherever there is a need for high-level holding power. It will also be necessary to choose a screwdriver with a suitably sized tip (it should fill the recess). As previously mentioned, it won't always be necessary to drill a pilot hole before penetration with the screw. However, we will outline the complete process here:
Step One: Mark the Spot
Mark a cross in the exact spot where the pilot hole is to be set.
Step Two: Drill Down
Drill directly into the area indicated by the cross.
Step Three: Create a Hole
Make a large and shallow hole where countersinking is required.
Step Four: Drill the Screw
Begin the drilling process with a hand driver and finish with a power driver (set at a reasonable speed to prevent screw hole stripping).

 

10 TIPS FOR SCREWING WITH WOOD SCREWS

 

 

Consider the direction of the grain
Wood screws that are screwed across the grain (tangentially or radially to the annual rings) hold better than screws that are positioned in the direction of the longitudinal fibres (in the end grain). If the position of the parts does not allow screwing across the grain, you should use the longest screws possible. However, it is often more stable and easier to implement additional connecting elements (e.g. wooden strips as supports or metal angles).
Consider the shrinkage behaviour of wood
Wood works and changes its dimensions depending on humidity. If wider wooden surfaces are firmly connected to a construction, the wood cannot shrink or swell, and visible cracks appear over time. Traditionally, solid wooden tabletops and wooden chair seats are not firmly screwed to the frame but are connected by slot nuts or sliding dovetails. With screwed connections, you can drill slightly larger holes or oblong holes so that the screws can move with the wood.
Use screws that match the construction
There are suitable wood screws and connecting options for almost every task and requirement. Here are just three examples: 

  • To connect furniture parts that are light and only slightly stressed, use shank wood screws, so-called partial thread screws. The shaft pulls the components tightly together. Full thread screws provide more hold, but when screwing, the wooden parts push apart, often leaving a visible gap.
  • To connect two beams in timber construction or interior work, sturdy wood screws with a large hexagonal head (key screws) with additional washers are suitable. These screws can be tightened very firmly with open-end spanners or ratchets. The flat screw head and the washer distribute the forces over a larger area.
  • Substructure and simple battens are quickly mounted with drilling screws and universal screws with drill tip. However, they are only suitable for simple tasks where beauty or clean workmanship are not essential.

Choose the right screw length
Select the length of the screws according to the load on the components. In furniture construction, this should be at least twice the material thickness of the part to be fastened (e.g. 19 mm material thickness = 40 mm screw). For heavily loaded components and load-bearing constructions, the screw length is at least three times the material thickness.
Always pre-drill wood screws
Unless you are using drilling screws, you should generally pre-drill wood screws. Otherwise, there is a risk that the wood will split lengthwise, or pieces will chip off.
Always countersink flat head and pan-head screws
If the wood screws you are using are flat head or pan-head screws, you should also countersink the holes. This is done with a taper countersink or a add-on countersink. Drill countersinks with depth stop are particularly practical, as the drilling depth and the depth of the countersink can be adjusted to match the screw. If the hole is not countersunk, the tapered screw head will push the wood fibres apart and the wood may split despite pre-drilling.
Use appropriate screwing tools
To avoid damaging the screw head when screwing in or loosening the screw, a screwing tool with a suitable blade or bit must be used. If the shape and size do not match the screw head or the slot (the expert refers to this as »screw drive«), the tool slips off and, in the worst case, the screw becomes unusable or can no longer be screwed in or out. Pay attention to the quality when choosing screwdrivers and bits. Cheap bits are often of inferior steel quality. They are too soft, deform, or do not fit perfectly into the screw heads.
The appropriate torque
Tighten wood screws with the right force or appropriate torque. To do this, switch the cordless screwdriver from »drilling« to »screwing« and select a slow speed setting. Since wood is not a homogeneous material and the amount of force required can change during screwing, choose a comparatively high torque if the cordless screwdriver offers this option. Due to the low number of revolutions, you can control the insertion of the screw well and stop it in time. Choose a lower torque only for mounting delicate materials (e.g. plasterboard) or processing very soft woods (e.g. spruce).
Hand-tighten slotted screws
Slotted screws are mostly used nowadays for decorative purposes or for attaching fittings. To achieve a harmonious overall appearance, the slots of the screws should all point in the same direction (e.g. diagonally or lengthwise). To do this, the screws are aligned by hand with a screwdriver. Additionally, with cordless screwdrivers, there is always the risk that the bit will slip out of the simple screw slot, thereby damaging the workpiece.
Replace damaged screws immediately
However, if something goes wrong and the screw head is damaged, unscrew the screw immediately and replace it with a new wood screw with an intact screw head. Few things are as annoying as trying to remove an old screw with a damaged head. If the screw is not yet completely screwed in, you can also use combination pliers to unscrew it. Defective screws that are still screwed in or remain in the wood will become stuck over time; they can rust or stick to the wood due to the surface treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Q: What are the precautions for using Wood Screw?

A: Pre-drilling: Pre-drilling for wood screws may be required in hardwood.
Internal/External Use: Suitable for both internal and external use.
Eco-friendly: There are eco-friendly options available, such as screws made from sustainable materials or those with environmentally-friendly coatings.

Q: How to Install a Wood Screw?

A: It is essential that you select a wood screw of the appropriate length and strength. Heavier screws should be used wherever there is a need for high-level holding power. It will also be necessary to choose a screwdriver with a suitably sized tip (it should fill the recess). As previously mentioned, it won't always be necessary to drill a pilot hole before penetration with the screw. However, we will outline the complete process here:

Q: Can Wood Screws Be Used in Plasterboard?

A: Purpose-made screws have traditionally been used to hang plasterboard. However, they do have some limitations when compared with wood screws. They will rust if fitted in environments exposed to continuous moisture. The alternative is to fit flat countersunk deck screws in order to minimise the risks of splitting, cracking, and weakening. Such screws also feature a shank designed for continued durability and secure fitting.

Q: Can I Use a Wood Screw in Sheet Metal?

A: No. Metal screws have different tensile strengths. You should only use metal screws, not wood screws.

Q: What's the difference between wood screws and hex lag screws exactly?

A: Technically speaking, hex lag screws are a type of wood screw. The term "wood screw" is used to describe any threaded fastener with a pointed tip that's driven into wood. Hex lag screws fall under this category. They feature a head with a specific drive type, a threaded shank and a pointed tip. You can drive hex lag screws into wood using the right tool.
One of the primary differences between wood screws and hex lag screws involves the head. Hex lag screws have a hexagonal head. That's why they are known as "hex lag screws." Wood screws, on the other hand, are available in a variety of head styles.
Hex lag screws are also larger than most other wood screws. They feature a thick shank, making them ideal for heavy-duty fastening applications. Wood screws are available in different sizes, but most of them are smaller than hex lag screws.

Q: How Long Should a Wood Screw Be?

A: Factors such as the type of wood, screw material, and lateral vs sheer forces will have a bearing on the appropriate length of the screw. However, there are some general guidelines that should be applied in the selection process.
You should ensure that the screw can penetrate a minimum of half the thickness of the bottom material. The screw should also be suitable for the secure fastening of two boards as required. There shouldn't be any protrusion.

Q: Does Size of the Screw Matter?

A: Selecting the wrong-sized screw for the project can prove to be dangerous. If the screw is too long or small for your task it isn't the right screw for the job. If the screw doesn't fully disappear (head type dependent) or is too loose you should remove it and use a more appropriate type.

Q: How Much Weight Can A Wood Screw Hold?

A: There are various coarse-threaded wood screws that can hold weights in excess of 100 pounds when attached to purpose-made wood studs.

Q: My Screw is Loose – What Now?

A: If you are adamant that you have the correct size and style of screw, you can use some glue to finish the job. However, remember that if you need to remove the screw at some point for maintenance reasons you will likely not be able to extract it.

Q: Do You Need to Use Pilot Holes for Wood Screws?

A: It is recommended that you drive in appropriately sized pilot holes before fitting screws. These holes should be inserted to stop the wood from splitting or cracking when fitting the screws. This will be particularly important when inserting screws into woods with complex structures, such as oak.
The insertion of a pilot hole will enable the screw to be easily guided into position. It should also be relatively easy to screw with a power drill or screwdriver. Without the pilot hole, there will be a significant risk of breaking the screw when a high level of pressure is applied.

Q: Can You Use Wood Screws for Brick?

A: You should use masonry screws rather than wood screws for brick applications. The masonry screws are specially designed for use without a lag shield, plug, or alternative anchor system. They have longer threading (may be two inches or more) and different patterning to the wood variety. Masonry screws are also commonly used for metalworking purposes.

Q: How Do I Tighten or Loosen a Screw?

A: Always turn a screw clockwise to tighten it, and anti-clockwise to loosen it again. Remember - Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty.

Q: What are the characteristics of Slotted Wood Screw?

A: Slotted wood screws have the following features:
Partial threading: A shoulder below the screw's head is designed to slide through the top pieces of wood so that it can pull both boards together tightly
Countersunk and undercut head: Features a countersunk and undercut head to run flush with the installation surface
25º Sharp point tip: A 25º sharp point tip makes for an easier drive
Slotted drive: A slotted drive provides a flush aesthetic finish

Q: How Far Should Screws Go into Wood?

A: The thickness of materials being joined and the orientation of the parts of the joint will have a direct bearing on the appropriate screw length. You are advised to use a screw of at least 2 to 3 times the thickness of the material being added. It might be necessary to try screws of various lengths before identifying those best suited to your purposes. If the screw doesn't fully penetrate the material allowing for tightening, then you should cut off the end. It will be necessary to apply a screw of a shorter length.

Q: What are the disadvantages of Wood Screw?

A: Can Split Wood: If wood screws are not inserted properly, they can split the wood, which can weaken the structure.
Limited Holding Power: Wood screws have a limited holding power and are not suitable for applications that require high strength.
Not Suitable for Certain Types of Wood: Wood screws are not suitable for use with certain types of wood, such as particle board or MDF, as these materials can easily strip the screw threads.
Limited Use with Metal: Wood screws are not suitable for use with metal, as they may not provide sufficient holding power.
Rusting: Wood screws can rust over time if they are not made from a corrosion-resistant material, such as stainless steel.

Q: What diameter should wood screws be pre-drilled?

A: Pre-drill in the »core diameter« so that the thread can grip, and the screw finds optimal hold. The core diameter is the smallest diameter on the thread or the diameter of the inner cylinder between the thread. If you are not installing partial thread screws, you should pre-drill the part to be screwed to the »nominal diameter«. The nominal diameter is the largest diameter of the screw thread, usually indicated as the first number of the screw size (e.g. 3.5 x 40).
