10 x 3 in. Bugle Head Self-Drilling Wood Screw, 305 SS, Sq Dr

Stainless Bugle Head Self-Drilling Wood Screw 10x3 inch

You'll be amazed at the difference an auger point makes on a SS screw!

Great for use with pressure-treated wood or premium materials like Redwood and Western Red Cedar because they are truly self-drilling. ;

The Type 17 point is not a thread style but can enhance the performance qualities of most thread styles used in the woodworking industry. A slot or notch is cut out at the point of the screw that acts like an auger or drilling tip. The slot carves away the material, thus allowing it to self-drill into most types of wood. In many instances, it can eliminate the need for a pre-drilled hole to relieve splitting. The Type 17 point is excellent for hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard, and especially MDF.

Deep Thread: Characterized by a reduced diameter shank resulting in a deep thread profile. A single lead thread, meaning that one revolution advances the screw one pitch. (Pitch is equal to 1 divided by the number of threads per inch. For a screw with ten threads per in., one revolution will advance the screw 1/1O in. into the wood.)

The deep thread form provides superior resistance to pull-out.
