SOME ADVICES

Which screw recess to choose?

If you’re looking for efficiency like the pros, go for the time-saving star recess. It allows easy screwing even in awkward positions. The bit is well maintained in the recess of the screw.

As for the pozi recess, it has a big advantage over the star imprint if it is painted. The pozi impression will be more suitable for this use because it will be easier to remove the paint on this type of impression in the event of disassembly.

 

Which thread to choose?

Partial threading is more suitable for this type of work. It has the particularity of bringing the woods closer together and thus ensuring better tightening since the screw turns and slides freely.

However, make sure that the thread is completely fixed in the holder for the tightening to give the desired effect. The unthreaded part of the screw must be of a minimum length to the thickness of the wood to be fixed.

+ DES PRODUCTS ROCKET :

ROCKET BICHROMATE AND ZINC COATED STEEL WOOD AND CHIPBOARD SCREWS = Cutting-edge technology that makes a difference

The technical characteristics of ROCKET screws (slim, sharpened point; ribbed thread; hard-wearing triple cone), allied to their physical characteristics (high-quality steel, thermal treatment, dry lubrication, etc.) make these high-quality screws.

ROCKET screws deliver performance levels that are significantly higher than with standard screws, ticking all the boxes: initial grip, break resistance, non-splitting and durability.
