Quickscrews #8 x 1-1/4" Washer Head Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Plain, 4547 - 8000/Box

1-1/4 Inch Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw For Softwood and Sheet Goods

The Quickscrews #8 x 1-1/4" face frame and pocket-hole screw is a coarse-thread washer head fastener designed for joining 3/4-inch softwood face frame stock and assembling cabinet boxes from plywood, MDF, or particleboard. Packed 8000 to the box, it is sized for high-output cabinet shops and production assembly environments.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch length is the standard sizing for pocket-hole joinery in 3/4-inch softwood and sheet-goods stock.
• Washer head profile bears evenly against the pocket wall to pull the joint tight without sinking through or mushrooming over.
• #2 square drive is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement in tight installation positions.
• Type 17 auger point flutes wood fibers as the screw enters, reducing torque and helping prevent splitting near rail and stile ends.
• Coarse thread provides strong pull-out resistance in softwood, plywood, MDF, melamine, and particleboard.
• 8000-piece box keeps the supply bin full through a full production run without mid-job restocking.

The Right Length For 3/4-Inch Pocket-Hole Work

At 1-1/4 inches, this screw is matched to the most common pocket-hole joint: two pieces of 3/4-inch stock drawn together at a 15-degree angle. That geometry puts the threads fully into the receiving board without breaking through the far face. Use it to join face frame rails to stiles, attach face frames to plywood cabinet boxes, and assemble drawer boxes from 3/4-inch material. The coarse thread pulls fast and grips firmly in pine, poplar, soft maple, plywood, and MDF, the materials that make up the majority of production cabinetry.

Washer Head, Square Drive, and Type 17 Point

The washer head gives this screw a broad, flat bearing surface that distributes clamping force across the pocket wall. It does not bury itself into the wood the way a countersunk head would, and it does not mushroom above the surface under torque. That keeps the joint tight and the face clean. The Type 17 auger point cuts a small flute into the wood fiber at entry, which lowers the driving force needed and reduces the risk of splitting close to the end grain of a stile or rail. The #2 square drive recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit so the installer can start the screw one-handed in a pocket that a standard drill cannot reach straight on.

Built For Cabinet Shops Running Softwood and Engineered Panels

This screw fits the workflow of a production cabinet shop building frames from pine or poplar and boxes from plywood or particleboard. The coarse thread moves quickly through low-density material, and the 8000-piece count means a single box can carry a crew through a full kitchen run. It is also a practical fit for custom shops and installers who build or assemble frameless and face-frame cabinets on site, where the square drive and auger point make one-handed driving in confined spaces more manageable. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, or cherry, choose a fine-thread variant instead: coarse thread in dense hardwood risks splitting the stile.
