The Würth #8 x 2 inch flat head assembly screw is a coarse-thread, zinc-plated fastener designed for cabinet carcass assembly, panel joinery, and general woodworking in solid wood, hardwood plywood, and engineered sheet goods. The 2 inch length provides enough thread engagement and shank depth for reliable fastening through 3/4-inch panels and into a second member, making it a shop-standard size for box assembly and case construction.
A 2 inch screw reaches through a 3/4-inch panel face and threads 1-1/4 inches into the mating member — enough penetration for a strong withdrawal grip in typical cabinet side and bottom panels. That geometry makes this length the natural choice when assembling a frameless box from 3/4-inch plywood or melamine-faced particleboard: the screw pulls the joint tight without running short or punching through the back of a shallow member. It also works well when screwing through a 1/2-inch panel back and into a 3/4-inch nailer, or when attaching a hanging rail to the inside of a cabinet side. Production shops that run the same box depth repeatedly will find the 2 inch size covers the majority of their interior fastening calls without switching screw trays mid-run.
The combination recess accepts either a #2 Phillips or a #2 square bit. In a production environment that means no bit change when you move from one driver to another, and no downtime when a square bit is buried in a drawer. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for controlled one-handed placement in tight cabinet interiors. The flat head carries underhead nibs that cut a countersink into the panel face as the screw seats, which keeps the head flush with the surface on visible interior panels without requiring a separate countersink pass. In finished interiors — painted or melamine-covered — a flush head is the difference between a surface that takes a clean result and one that telegraphs a bump under the finish.
The extended Type 17 auger point carries a longer, more aggressive flute than a standard T17, which clears chips faster and reduces the torque spike when entering dense plywood or solid wood at depth. For a 2 inch screw that needs to travel through a full 3/4-inch face and start threading into a second member, that chip clearance at the tip keeps the driver from bogging down partway through the joint. The coarse thread form pulls the two panels together as it advances, which is the right choice for wood, plywood, and wood-based panels where the fiber structure rewards a wide thread pitch. Zinc plating keeps the screw protected in the dry, climate-controlled conditions of an indoor shop or installed kitchen and bath cabinetry.
Cabinet shops, millwork operations, and woodworking contractors who run consistent box sizes benefit most from this SKU. A 1000-piece box at this gauge and length covers a standard production run of kitchen upper or base cabinets without the interruption of a smaller pack running out. The consistent geometry — same drive, same head, same point — means the driver torque setting dialed in on the first box stays correct through the last one, which is harder to guarantee when mixing pack sizes or reordering mid-run. This screw is an indoor fastener; for outdoor or treated-lumber work, choose a coating rated for that exposure.
The combination recess accepts both a #2 Phillips and a #2 square bit. Either bit drives the screw; the square recess tends to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for placement in tight spaces, while the Phillips side keeps the screw compatible with the widest range of drivers in the field.
Yes. Driving through a 3/4-inch face panel leaves 1-1/4 inches of screw threading into the mating member, which provides solid withdrawal resistance in typical plywood and particleboard cabinet construction. If both panels are thicker or thinner, confirm the penetration depth covers at least one inch into the second member.
In most wood, plywood, and wood-based panel materials, yes. The underhead nibs cut a countersink as the screw seats, leaving the flat head flush with the surface. In very hard or very dense materials, a light countersink pass first will produce a cleaner result.
The coarse thread and Type 17 auger point work in particleboard and MDF, which are common cabinet box materials. For edge-fastening into particleboard, keep edge distance in mind — the material holds less than plywood at the edge, and pre-drilling or reducing driving torque near the edge is good practice.
The zinc plating provides standard corrosion protection for dry indoor applications: cabinet shops, installed cabinetry, and interior woodworking. This screw is not intended for exterior, high-humidity, or treated-lumber applications.
When the job is assembling 3/4-inch cabinet panels and you need a screw that seats flush, starts cleanly, and drives with whatever bit is already loaded, this #8 x 2 inch combo-drive assembly screw covers the call — and a 1000-piece box keeps a production shop moving through a full run without stopping to reorder.
