The Würth #8 x 2-inch flat head assembly screw is a coarse-thread fastener built for wood-to-wood assembly in cabinetry, furniture, and shop production work. A Type 17 Auger point, underhead nibs, and a combination Phillips/square drive come together in a screw sized to reach full thread engagement through typical 3/4-inch hardwood or plywood stock.
At 2 inches, this screw is long enough to pass through a 3/4-inch face panel and bite well into the substrate behind it, making it a reliable choice for attaching cabinet backs to side panels, securing shelf cleats, and fastening cabinet components where the fastener needs to carry real load across two workpieces. It also handles rail-to-stile assembly in softwood face frames and drawer box construction in plywood or solid wood. Production shops that run a single screw length through most of their box-build work will find the 2-inch size covers the widest range of those assemblies without reaching for a second box.
The Type 17 Auger point on this screw features a longer, more aggressive flute than a standard Type 17. That extended geometry pulls chips away from the bore as the screw drives, reducing the heat buildup and side pressure that cause splitting in denser woods like maple and oak. The underhead nibs do their own work at the surface: as the flat head seats, the nibs mill a shallow countersink in the surrounding material so the head ends up flush without a pre-drilled countersink hole. The combination drive recess is designed to accept a #2 Phillips or a #2 square bit. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement, which matters when positioning cabinet components that require a free hand to hold alignment.
This screw is a production-quantity item. At 4,000 pieces per box, it is aimed at cabinet shops, millwork operations, and installers who move through screws in volume and want a single flat head assembly screw that handles most interior wood-to-wood connections without special prep. The black finish keeps screw heads from standing out inside painted or dark-interior cabinets. For shops that already stock a combo-drive bit, there is no new tooling required. This one is for interior work; if the application involves outdoor exposure or pressure-treated lumber, choose a finish rated for that environment.
The 2-inch length gives full thread engagement through a 3/4-inch face panel into the substrate behind it, which covers the most common cabinet box and face-frame joinery. A 1-3/4-inch screw may not reach as deeply into dense hardwood; a 2-1/2-inch screw can over-penetrate thinner panel stock. For standard 3/4-inch material, 2 inches is typically the most versatile single length.
The Type 17 Auger point has an extended flute that cuts and removes wood fibers ahead of the thread. This lowers driving torque and reduces the lateral pressure that splits wood near edges or end grain. A standard sharp point displaces material rather than removing it, which increases splitting risk in harder woods.
Yes. The combination recess accepts both a #2 Phillips and a #2 square bit. Phillips drivers will work, though a square bit provides better engagement and less cam-out risk under higher torque.
No. The underhead nibs mill their own shallow countersink as the flat head seats, so the head sits flush without a separate countersink operation in most wood and wood-panel materials.
This screw carries a black finish intended for interior wood assembly. It is not rated for exterior exposure or pressure-treated lumber. For outdoor or treated-lumber applications, choose a screw with a corrosion-resistant finish rated for that environment.
When the job is interior cabinet assembly and the material is 3/4-inch hardwood or plywood, this #8 x 2-inch combo-drive flat head screw handles the connection cleanly and arrives in a quantity that keeps production moving.
