The Quickscrews #8 x 1-1/2" flat head assembly screw is built for cabinet and furniture assembly where one screw length handles the majority of the work. The 1-1/2" length is a standard fit for joining 3/4-inch sheet goods, panel edges, and softwood components without over-penetrating or bottoming out.
At 1-1/2", this screw lands in the range most cabinet and furniture assemblers reach for first. It drives through a 3/4-inch face panel and bites cleanly into the panel behind it, which covers the most common butt joints and edge connections in cabinet box construction. It also suits rail-to-stile connections in softwood or pine face frames, shelf-pin rail installation, and light furniture assembly where the stock is 3/4-inch or the combined thickness of two pieces is in the 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" range. The coarse thread gives it solid withdrawal resistance in plywood, MDF, and particleboard without requiring a pilot hole in most softwood applications. For hardwood face frames, pre-drilling is recommended — coarse thread in tight-grained hardwood without a pilot can split the stock.
The combo recess accepts a #2 square bit or a #2 Phillips bit. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement, which matters when the other hand is holding a panel or reaching into a cabinet box. The double auger point has two flutes rather than one, so chip clearance is faster and the screw enters material with less effort than a standard single-flute Type 17. The flat head nibs mill the countersink as the screw is driven down, seating flush in plywood, MDF, and softwood without a pre-drilled countersink in most cases. The lubricated finish ties all of this together by reducing thread friction from start to full seating depth.
Cabinet shops building boxes in volume, furniture manufacturers assembling carcasses and frames, and contractors doing finish carpentry work in softwood and panel materials will find this screw a dependable everyday runner. It is suited to production environments where the same screw needs to perform consistently across hundreds of joints per shift. The 1000-count box supports that scale. This screw is for indoor, dry applications — the lubricated finish and coarse-thread coated steel are not rated for exterior or treated-lumber use.
Yes. The single recess is shaped to accept either a #2 square bit or a #2 Phillips bit. Neither is included in the box; both are standard bits found in most shops.
The double auger has two opposing flutes instead of one, so it clears chips from both sides of the tip simultaneously. That means faster penetration and less resistance in panel materials like plywood and MDF.
In most softwood, plywood, and MDF applications, yes — the nibs mill a clean countersink as the head seats. In very hard materials, a pre-drilled countersink will produce a cleaner result.
The coarse thread is optimized for softwood and engineered panels, not hardwood. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, or similar species, a fine-thread face-frame screw is the better choice. If this screw is used in hardwood, pre-drill to avoid splitting.
No. This screw is for dry, indoor applications. It is not rated for exterior exposure or contact with ACQ pressure-treated lumber.
When most of your joinery is 3/4-inch panel work and softwood framing, this 1-1/2" coarse-thread assembly screw with a combo drive, double auger point, and self-countersinking flat head keeps production moving without interruption.
