#8 x 2 truss head machine screw defines a zinc finish fastener sized for projects that call for a 2 inch length with an 8-32 fine thread, so installers can match thread requirements on cabinet and furniture hardware that specify this pattern. The machine screw has a blunt point fine thread, which engages 8-32 thread visual hardware along the full shank, supporting solid metal-to-metal fastening in hardware assemblies that are tapped for this size. A truss head design spreads the bearing surface over a wider area, which helps seat surface mounted hardware like knobs and pulls against the material face. The screw uses a Phillips/slotted drive that accepts a #2 Phillips drive bit, allowing installers to drive it with common bits and drivers already used on many cabinet jobs. The product is identified by manufacturer part 3670000281961 1000, which ties this specific length, head style, and thread to ordering and replenishment.
The screw is described as being for use with 8-32 thread visual hardware, so it is sized to thread directly into hardware pieces designed around this standard pattern, which simplifies matching hardware and screw threads on cabinet jobs. For surface mounted knobs and pulls, it is recommended that the screw length be 1/4 inch greater than the material thickness, guiding installers to select a length that lets the blunt point extend through the door or drawer front and fully engage the hardware threads. With a fixed 2 inch length, this screw aligns with thicker fronts that suit that 1/4 inch guidance, supporting solid thread engagement inside the knob or pull boss. Using a #2 Phillips Drive bit on the Phillips/slotted drive lets installers run these screws efficiently with powered drivers or hand tools already equipped for common cabinet fasteners.
The machine screw is intended for use with 8-32 thread visual hardware, placing it in cabinet, furniture, or architectural hardware assemblies that rely on tapped metal threads for attachment. When a surface mounted knob or pull is installed, this screw passes through the material and into the hardware, so the zinc finish and truss head present a coordinated look at the point where the fastener meets the visible hardware. The 2 inch length works where face material plus hardware boss depth align with the recommendation that the screw length be 1/4 inch greater than the material thickness, so the blunt point can project beyond the inner surface while still drawing the hardware snugly against the outer face. In practice, this makes the screw suitable for thicker cabinet fronts or combined panel assemblies that fall under that length relationship and use 8-32 threaded inserts.
The 8-32X2 zinc machine screw specification combines a standardized fine thread with a defined length, so installers can duplicate results across multiple doors and drawers using the same size wherever 8-32 thread visual hardware is specified. The blunt point fine thread engages metal threads along the shank rather than cutting into wood or composite, which concentrates the connection inside the hardware body and helps maintain alignment of knobs and pulls under normal use. A truss head offers a broad bearing surface against the back of the knob or pull flange, so the clamp load is spread over more area and helps resist rocking or imprinting at the contact point. The #2 Phillips-compatible drive simplifies driving torque application, so installers can cycle through repetitive fastening without changing bits between common cabinet screws and these machine screws. The zinc finish contributes a uniform surface that pairs visually with many zinc-finished components, so exposed screw heads in some configurations do not visually conflict with the hardware set.
The machine screw is described as 8-32X2, meaning it has an 8-32 fine thread at a 2 inch length, which fits hardware tapped for 8-32 while providing extended reach through thicker materials.
The screw is for use with 8-32 thread visual hardware, so it threads directly into hardware components that have 8-32 internal threads, creating a metal-to-metal fastening point.
For surface mounted knobs and pulls, it is recommended that screw length be 1/4 inch greater than material thickness so the blunt point projects beyond the inner face and grips the internal threads.
The screw has a Phillips/slotted drive and uses a #2 Phillips Drive bit, so it works with common #2 Phillips driver bits used on many cabinet and furniture fasteners.
The truss head provides a wider bearing surface, so it supports surface mounted knobs and pulls by spreading load against the hardware flange where it contacts the material face.
The screw has a zinc finish, giving the fastener a coated surface that visually coordinates with many zinc-finished hardware components used on cabinets and furniture.
This 8-32 x 2 zinc truss head machine screw from Wurth is tailored for use with 8-32 thread visual hardware, so it matches the tapped threads found in many cabinet knobs and pulls. The 2 inch length works where the relationship that screw length be 1/4 inch greater than material thickness applies, helping achieve full engagement through thicker fronts. With a Phillips/slotted drive designed for a #2 Phillips Drive bit, the screw slots directly into typical cabinet installation workflows. For projects built around 8-32 fine thread visual hardware, this machine screw provides the defined size, head style, finish, and drive pattern described here.
