This Würth #8 x 2 inch flat head assembly screw is built for cabinet boxes, carcass joinery, and panel assembly where a flush head, reliable bite, and clean countersinking matter. The 2 inch length makes it a practical fit for through-panel joints in 3/4 inch material with room for full thread engagement in the mating piece.
At 2 inches, this screw passes through one 3/4 inch panel and drives a full inch or more into the receiving piece — enough thread engagement to resist racking and pull-out in assembled cabinet boxes. That makes it a reliable choice for side-to-bottom joints, interior shelf dados, and back panel attachment in frameless cabinetry. It also works well joining face-frame backing rails to a carcass side where the combined stock thickness calls for a longer reach than a 1-1/2 inch screw provides. The Type 17 Auger Point handles the initial penetration cleanly, so even when you're driving into hardwood plywood or dense MDF, the screw starts without wandering and seats without blowout around the head.
The flat head with underhead nibs does double work: the nibs ream the countersink as the head approaches the surface, and the flat bearing face seats flush once the screw is fully driven. That combination is particularly useful in melamine-faced particleboard and hardwood ply, where a smooth flat head without nibs often requires a separate countersink pass to sit cleanly. The black finish suits painted or dark-stained cabinet interiors where a zinc-bright head would read against the surface. This is an interior screw — the black coating is not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments. The coarse thread profile is designed for wood-based substrates; it is not appropriate for metal-to-metal connections.
Cabinet shops and millwork operations running production lines need screws that are ready in quantity. The 4000-piece box keeps a supply on hand through extended runs without constant reordering. The #2 square drive pairs well with standard impact drivers and screwdrivers already on most benches. Because the square recess holds the screw on a correctly sized bit, placement in blind or tight interior corners is easier to control than it would be with a Phillips drive. This screw suits frameless cabinet manufacturers, face-frame shops assembling carcasses in volume, and finish carpenters building site-installed casework where the 2 inch length matches their panel and joint stack.
A 2 inch screw gives you roughly an additional 1/2 inch of thread in the receiving panel. In a side-to-bottom joint with 3/4 inch stock on each side, that extra engagement improves pull-out resistance and is noticeable in harder plywood species where thread bite is more critical.
No. The nibs under the flat head mill the countersink as the screw seats, so no separate countersink step is needed in most wood-based panels. In very dense hardwood, a light pilot hole at the entry point helps the screw start, but the countersinking is handled by the nibs as the head comes down.
The coarse thread and Type 17 Auger Point work well in solid wood, hardwood plywood, MDF, and particleboard — the standard substrates in cabinet and casework production. It is not designed for sheet metal or exterior applications.
Yes. The black finish keeps the head from standing out against dark or painted cabinet interiors. It is an interior finish; for any application with moisture exposure, a corrosion-rated screw would be the appropriate choice.
The screw uses a #2 square drive. A correctly sized #2 square bit is all that is needed, and it is compatible with standard impact drivers and drill/drivers.
When panel joinery needs full thread engagement, a flush head, and a drive that stays on the bit, this Würth #8 x 2 inch assembly screw covers all three — in a box quantity that supports production-volume work without interruption.
