#8 x 1-1/4 flat head assembly screw gives a #8 diameter, 1-1/4 inch length fastener that suits many woodworking and cabinet assembly tasks where a flat seating head is preferred. The flat head design allows the screw to sit flush in a countersunk hole, which helps panels pull tight without leaving a proud fastener head in the way of hinges, slides, or trim. The screw uses a coarse thread, so it bites quickly into typical wood substrates, providing strong holding power in fewer turns during assembly work. The Type 17 auger point is designed to cut into the material, which reduces splitting at the entry point and helps the screw start cleanly without excessive driving force. A black finish gives a dark appearance that blends with dark materials or hardware layouts when an exposed head is visible.
This assembly screw is designed to use #2 Square Drive bits for insertion, so the primary drive interface supports solid bit engagement and reduced cam-out under load. #2 Phillips Drive bits can be used for after market adjustment, which offers flexibility when a different driver style is needed later for small position changes or snugging joints. The 1-1/4 inch size follows the pattern where lengths over 1 inch are threaded 2/3's from the bottom of the screw, which leaves an unthreaded shank near the head to help pull mating parts tightly together as the threaded portion engages the base material.
This Wurth flat head assembly screw belongs to the screws category and fasteners group, so it is oriented toward structural joining rather than decorative use. The #8 diameter and 1-1/4 inch length give a versatile size for attaching cabinet components, stretchers, and similar assemblies where a medium-length fastener is preferred in wood or wood-based panels. The coarse thread matches common cabinet-grade substrates, helping the screw cut in quickly and hold without requiring pre-threading operations, which supports efficient shop or site workflows. Because the 1-1/4 inch version is threaded 2/3's from the bottom, the remaining shank near the head lets the screw clamp a face piece tight against a carcass or frame as the threads bite only into the far member.
The use of #2 Square Drive bits to insert the screw means the driver tip engages deeply in the recess, which supports positive driving when working at awkward angles or overhead. The option to use #2 Phillips Drive bits for after market adjustment allows later tweaks without changing the original square-drive installation standard, streamlining service work when small adjustments are needed. The Type 17 auger point is formed to cut its own path into the wood, so the screw can penetrate more cleanly and reduce splitting at the entry edge, which is important when working near corners or ends of components. Case hardened construction enhances the shell hardness, which supports the drive recess and threaded surface under torque, helping the screw tolerate repeated driving and adjustment within normal use. The black finish provides a dark, uniform appearance at the head, which can help fasteners visually blend with dark laminates, painted components, or black hardware layouts in finished installations.
This Wurth assembly screw is #8 x 1-1/4 inch, giving a medium diameter and length suited to many cabinet and woodworking joints where a modest penetration depth is needed.
This screw uses a Type 17 auger point, which is designed to cut into the wood as it starts, helping reduce splitting and easing initial penetration into the material.
For this 1-1/4 inch length, the screw is threaded 2/3's from the bottom, leaving a portion of unthreaded shank near the head that helps clamp two pieces together.
The screw uses #2 Square Drive bits for insertion, while #2 Phillips Drive bits can be used later for after market adjustment when small joint changes are needed.
The coarse thread lets the screw advance quickly in wood substrates, providing strong hold in cabinet materials while reducing the number of turns during installation.
Case hardened construction hardens the outer layer of the screw, supporting the drive recess and threads under torque so driving and adjustments remain consistent.
This #8 x 1-1/4 inch Wurth flat head assembly screw with coarse thread, Type 17 auger point, and case hardened construction gives a practical option for wood-based assembly work. Using the #2 Square Drive interface during installation, with #2 Phillips Drive available for later adjustment, helps align with common shop tooling. The black finish offers a subdued fastener appearance that coordinates with darker materials. For projects matching this size, drive style, and threading pattern, this screw from Wurth Baer Supply supports straightforward cabinet and woodworking assembly.
