The Würth #8 x 1 inch flat head assembly screw delivers reliable wood-to-wood fastening where stock thickness limits how much length you have to work with. Coarse thread, a Type 17 Auger point, nibs under the flat head, and a #2 square drive make this a practical everyday screw for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and finish installers working in thin or shallow material.
In cabinet and furniture work, 1 inch is the go-to length when the combined stock is too thin for a longer screw but too thick for hardware screws. Attaching drawer box bottoms to a 1/2 inch bottom panel, fastening cabinet back panels, securing small blocking pieces, and mounting lightweight hardware backing are all situations where this length lands without over-penetrating the opposite face. For shops building standard face-frame boxes from 3/4 inch plywood, a 1 inch screw also works for edge-to-panel connections where thread engagement matters more than full shank travel.
The black finish keeps the head inconspicuous in dark-interior cabinetry, painted panels, and melamine-lined boxes where a silver or zinc screw head would stand out. The Type 17 Auger point carries a longitudinal flute that clears chips at the tip, reducing the torque spike that can split thin stock or blow out a panel edge. Nibs on the underside of the flat head do the countersinking work as the screw seats, so the head finishes flush without pre-boring. That combination of point and head geometry moves quickly in production without adding prep steps.
Packed 11,000 to the box, this screw is sized for cabinet shops and furniture manufacturers that burn through short assembly screws in volume. Drawer box construction, back panel installation, and interior blocking all consume short screws at a high rate, and a single box keeps a production line running without constant restocking. The coarse thread performs well in the engineered panels, plywood, and softwood that dominate cabinet shop material lists, and the square drive keeps bit changes to a minimum across a shift.
Yes. With a flat head that sits flush at the surface, most of the 1 inch length is thread, and a coarse thread in plywood or solid-core material provides good pull-out resistance for typical cabinet assembly loads.
No. The nibs on the underside of the flat head mill the countersink as the screw seats, so the head finishes flush in softwood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard without a pre-boring step.
A #2 square drive bit. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit, which reduces cam-out during repetitive driving in production work.
The coarse thread is well matched to particleboard, MDF, and melamine-faced panels. The Type 17 Auger point helps the screw start cleanly without crumbling the panel edge.
Yes. The black finish is suited to dry indoor applications. This screw is not rated for exterior or treated-lumber use.
When the job calls for a short, flush-seating assembly screw in high volume, this Würth #8 x 1 inch square drive flat head covers the application cleanly, from drawer bottoms and back panels to blocking and interior hardware work.
