This Würth #8 x 2 inch flat head assembly screw is built for joining cabinet boxes, panel assemblies, and general woodworking components where a clean, flush head seat and reliable coarse-thread bite in wood-based materials are the priority. The 2 inch length gives you solid thread engagement through one panel and into a second, making it a practical everyday choice for carcass assembly in solid wood, MDF, and plywood.
At 2 inches, this screw passes cleanly through a 3/4 inch panel face and threads 1-1/4 inches into the adjacent member. That geometry suits cabinet carcass assembly — side-to-top, side-to-bottom, and back-panel attachment — as well as shelf cleats, face-frame-to-box attachment through the box side, and furniture panel joinery where moderate penetration depth delivers a firm, lasting connection. It is long enough to reach solid material in 3/4 inch stock combinations without punching through panels that are thinner on the receiving end. For through-joints in single-thickness 3/4 inch stock, it leaves enough thread in the second piece to resist racking and pulling apart under normal load.
The flat head carries underhead nibs that cut into the wood surface as the screw seats, milling a shallow countersink and pulling the head flush. This removes the need to pre-countersink most softwood, plywood, and MDF surfaces before driving — a genuine time saver in volume cabinet production. The Type 17 Auger point extends beyond a standard Type 17, with a longer flute that clears chips more aggressively and reduces the driving torque required in denser materials. Zinc plating protects the steel shank in dry indoor conditions; this is an interior screw and is not suited for exterior or high-humidity environments.
Cabinet shops assembling face-frame boxes in volume rely on this size and thread combination for the carcass work that happens before doors and drawers go on. The 2 inch length covers the most common 3/4 inch panel combinations without adjustment. Finish carpenters and installers use it for built-ins, shelving units, and trim backing where a flush-seating flat head matters for the finished look. The 1,000-count box suits any shop that moves through screws at production pace and wants a single go-to size on hand for interior panel joinery.
In most softwood, plywood, and MDF applications, yes. The nibs mill a shallow seat as the screw is driven, allowing the head to sit flush without a separate countersink operation. In very hard or dense hardwoods, a light countersink pass first produces the cleanest result.
Yes. The auger variant has a longer flute than a standard Type 17, which clears chips more aggressively and reduces driving torque in thicker or denser stock. It still cuts wood fiber rather than drilling through metal, so it is designed for wood and wood-based panels only.
This screw carries a coarse thread and a Phillips drive, which are not the preferred combination for hardwood face-frame pocket-hole joinery. Hardwood face frames typically call for a fine-thread screw and a square or star drive for better bit engagement and reduced splitting. This screw is better matched to softwood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard panel assembly.
Zinc plating provides standard corrosion protection for dry indoor use. Keep this screw to climate-controlled shop and interior cabinet applications. It is not suited for exterior installations, high-humidity spaces, or contact with pressure-treated lumber.
Each box contains 1,000 screws.
When the job is cabinet carcasses, built-in shelving, and interior panel joinery in softwood or engineered sheet goods, this 2 inch flat head assembly screw delivers a flush head seat, clean starts, and dependable coarse-thread grip — 1,000 to the box and ready for production pace.
