#8 x 2 inch flat head assembly screw describes a fastener sized for common woodworking and cabinet assembly where a #8 shank and 2 inch length give bite through typical sheet goods into framing members, helping keep joints tight under load. The flat head design lets the screw sit flush when driven into a properly sized countersink, so parts pull together without a raised head interfering with hinges, slides, or trim. Phillips drive works with standard #2 Phillips drive bits, so installers can stay with widely used bits across much of the job. The coarse thread configuration helps the screw cut quickly into softer materials, which supports fast driving and strong holding in wood-based panels. The black finish delivers a darker appearance at the head, which can better blend with dark surfaces or hardware layouts in many shop and field situations.
The Type 17 auger point at the tip is designed to start easily into wood-based substrates by cutting its own path, which reduces walking at the start of the drive and helps fast engagement. The same point style also assists chip removal at the entry, which supports smoother driving and reduces torque spikes as the screw advances. Threading on 3/4 inch and 1 inch lengths runs fully along the shank, while all other sizes are threaded two-thirds from the bottom of the screw, a pattern that influences how different lengths pull materials together in layered assemblies. This threading approach lets the fully threaded shorter screws grip along their full length in thinner stacks, while the partially threaded longer versions can draw the top piece tightly against the base as the unthreaded portion passes through.
The Wurth #8 x 2 inch flat head assembly screw with coarse thread and Type 17 auger point sits in the fasteners and screws class, aligning well with cabinet, fixture, and general woodworking assembly tasks that use wood-based sheet goods. The Type 17 auger point lets installers start the screw into substrates without extensive pre-drilling in many wood applications, which helps speed repetitive assembly work on case parts, stretchers, and cleats. Coarse threading along the shank engages efficiently in materials such as common panel products, so components are drawn together firmly as torque is applied. The flat head geometry allows the head to seat into a countersunk recess, letting connected parts sit flush against each other so hardware, trim, or adjoining panels set cleanly over the fastened area. The black head finish visually supports projects using dark laminates or painted components where a darker fastener head can be advantageous to the finished appearance across visible interior or underside locations.
The case hardened construction of this screw provides a stronger core and head, which helps the fastener tolerate driving forces from powered drivers without deforming as easily, supporting consistent seating across many repetitions on production runs. Using a #2 Phillips drive recess that matches widely used Phillips bits keeps engagement familiar for installers, which supports a repeatable feel at the driver and more uniform drive depth across multiple fastening points. The mix of fully threaded 3/4 inch and 1 inch lengths and partially threaded longer sizes in the same product family gives assemblers options to match thread coverage to stack thickness, which helps manage how firmly upper pieces clamp to underlying structure. The Type 17 auger point contributes to straighter starts in edge or face applications by biting promptly into the surface, which aids alignment of rails, stretchers, or brackets as the screw draws parts together progressively. This combination of point design, coarse thread, case hardening, and standardized Phillips drive helps shops and installers maintain consistent assembly quality while moving efficiently through recurring fastening tasks.
This Wurth assembly screw uses a Phillips drive and is intended for use with #2 Phillips drive bits, which supports straightforward driving with standard Phillips drivers on cabinet and woodworking jobs.
The Type 17 auger point on this screw cuts its own entry path into wood-based materials, helping the screw start cleanly and drive smoothly, which supports faster assembly without excessive wandering at the tip.
The coarse thread on this screw bites quickly into wood-based substrates, increasing grip in fewer turns, which helps pull panels and framing together firmly during cabinet, fixture, or general woodworking assembly.
This screw is case hardened, giving the outer surface added strength so the head and shank better resist wear and deformation under driving torque, which supports repeatable fastening performance in demanding shop work.
The flat head on this screw seats into a countersink so the head rests flush with the surface, which lets adjacent hardware, trim, and panels fit properly over the joint without interference from the fastener.
The black finish gives this screw a dark head color, which helps it visually blend into dark laminates, painted parts, or black hardware layouts where a lighter fastener head would stand out more.
The Wurth #8 x 2 inch flat head assembly screw with Phillips drive, coarse thread, Type 17 auger point, black finish, and case hardened construction lines up with many cabinet and woodworking fastening tasks. The combination of a Type 17 point and coarse thread supports efficient driving into wood-based materials, while the flat head geometry helps components sit flush once fastened. For projects where a dark head is preferred and a #2 Phillips drive matches existing drivers, this screw offers a practical fastener choice for repeatable assembly performance.
