7 x 2-1/2 in. Self-Drilling Trim-Head 305 SS Screws - Qty:100

Get the benefits of stainless steel with the convenience of a true self-drilling screw. These 7 x 2-1/2 in. trim-head screws feature a Type 17 auger point that helps carve through wood as the screw advances, making them an excellent choice for woodworking applications where corrosion resistance, clean installation, and reliable holding power are important.

Made from passivated Type 305 stainless steel, these screws offer greater corrosion resistance than conventional Type 304 stainless steel. They are well suited for pressure-treated lumber as well as premium woods such as redwood and Western red cedar. The stainless steel construction also provides a durable appearance that complements finished woodworking projects.

Type 305 Stainless Steel Construction

Passivated Type 305 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared with Type 304 stainless steel. This makes these trim-head screws a practical choice for many exterior woodworking and outdoor construction applications where standard carbon steel or zinc-plated fasteners may not provide the desired level of corrosion resistance.

Type 17 Self-Drilling Auger Point

The Type 17 point features a slot or notch cut into the tip of the screw that works much like an auger or drill bit. As the screw penetrates the material, the point helps remove wood fibers and creates a path for the threads to follow. This self-drilling design can reduce the need for pre-drilling in many woodworking applications and can help minimize splitting.

The Type 17 point performs well in a variety of wood products, including hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard, and MDF. Its cutting action makes installation easier while helping the screw start cleanly in the workpiece.

Deep-Thread Design for Strong Holding Power

The deep-thread design uses a reduced-diameter shank to create a deeper thread profile. The single-lead thread advances the screw one pitch with each complete revolution, providing efficient penetration and excellent engagement with wood fibers.

This deep-thread configuration provides strong resistance to pull-out and is commonly associated with Lo-Root^® or production-style screws. It is especially useful for woodworking applications where dependable thread engagement is important.

Trim Head and Square Drive

The small trim head provides a discreet finished appearance compared with larger conventional screw heads, making these fasteners well suited for cabinetry, trim work, woodworking, and other applications where a less noticeable fastener is preferred.

The square drive helps provide positive driver engagement during installation. Because the trim screw uses a shallow #1 recess, care should be taken to avoid cam-out. Pilot holes are recommended in most materials, particularly when installing near edges or into dense hardwoods.

Applications

• Pressure-treated wood
• Redwood and Western Red Cedar
• Hardwoods and softwoods
• Particleboard, and MDF
• Woodworking and cabinet projects
• Trim and finish applications
• Outdoor woodworking projects where appropriate

Important: These Type 305 stainless steel screws are not suitable for marine or oceanside applications. For severe saltwater exposure, select a fastener specifically designed and rated for marine environments.
