The Würth #8 x 2" flat head assembly screw is a coarse-thread, Phillips-drive fastener with a Type 17 Auger point and underhead nibs, sized for the joinery depths common in cabinet carcass construction, panel assembly, and general wood fabrication.
At 2 inches, this screw reaches deep enough to pull standard 3/4-inch panels together and still leave meaningful thread engagement in the receiving piece. That makes it a natural fit for cabinet box assembly — attaching sides to tops and bottoms, fastening backs into rabbets on thicker stock, and securing nailers or stretchers inside a carcass. It also handles panel-to-panel connections in casework, shop fixtures, and built-ins where 1-1/2 inches falls short of confident grip but 2-1/2 inches would over-penetrate. Production cabinet shops building boxes from 3/4-inch plywood or melamine-coated particleboard reach for this length repeatedly across a typical job.
The flat countersunk head sits flush once driven, which matters inside a cabinet box where a proud screw head would interfere with drawer slides, shelf pins, or finished interiors. The nibs on the underside of the head act as milling edges: as the screw seats, they shave a clean countersink into the wood surface rather than tearing or compressing it. The result is a neater, more consistent head seat across repeated fastening, especially in softwood and engineered panels. The black finish keeps heads from standing out visually in dark-stained or painted interiors.
Production cabinet shops assembling boxes in volume get the most from a 4000-count pack of this length. The coarse thread and Type 17 Auger point work quickly in the softwood plywood, MDF, and particleboard those shops use for carcass construction, so throughput stays high. Millwork operations and fixture builders also find the 2-inch length useful for built-ins and commercial casework. For a one-off shop project or an installer pulling a smaller quantity, this same screw is available in other pack sizes — the 4000-count box is the right call when volume is the priority.
No. The coarse thread on this screw is designed for softwood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard. Hardwood face-frame joinery calls for a fine-thread screw to prevent splitting and provide adequate holding power in dense grain.
The Type 17 Auger point has a longer flute than a standard Type 17 tip. That flute clears chips more aggressively as the screw drives, which lowers the torque needed to seat the screw and reduces the chance of splitting at the entry point — useful when driving repeatedly through the day in cabinet box production.
Yes, in most cases. The nibs under the head mill the countersink as the screw seats. In very hard or brittle laminates, a light pilot countersink beforehand gives the cleanest result and reduces surface chipping around the head.
Yes. This screw uses a #2 Phillips drive, which is the standard bit size for #8 screws and is the most common bit already in use across most shops and job sites.
No. The black finish on this screw is not rated for outdoor exposure or contact with ACQ pressure-treated lumber. It is an indoor assembly screw for dry cabinet and casework applications.
When cabinet box construction is the job, having the right screw on hand in volume keeps the line moving — the 4000-count box of this 2-inch flat head assembly screw is sized to match that pace.
