Würth #8 x 1-1/4" Washer Head Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Black, 3670000206961 1000 - 1000/Box

Black Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Sized for 3/4-Inch Softwood Stock

The Würth #8 x 1-1/4 inch face frame and pocket-hole screw is a coarse-thread washer head screw with a Type 17 auger point and a #2 square drive, finished in Black. The 1-1/4 inch length is the standard size for joining 3/4-inch softwood face-frame stock and softwood or sheet-good pocket-hole joints, making this box of 1000 a practical production quantity for cabinet shops working in those materials.

Key Features

• Washer head profile bears against the pocket face and pulls the joint tight without burying into the wood surface.
• Coarse thread is suited to softwood, plywood, MDF, melamine, and particleboard for solid withdrawal resistance.
• Type 17 auger point features a fluted tip that clears wood fibers as the screw is driven, reducing torque and splitting.
• #2 square drive is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for controlled one-handed placement.
• Black finish blends with dark cabinet interiors and is less visible in finished casework where the screw head may be exposed.
• 1000-count box keeps production moving without frequent restocking interruptions.

Right Length for 3/4-Inch Softwood Joinery

At 1-1/4 inches, this screw is matched to the most common face-frame and pocket-hole scenario: joining two pieces of 3/4-inch softwood, plywood, or sheet goods. The length provides enough thread engagement to draw the joint tight while stopping short of breaking through the back face of the second piece. It is the go-to size when building face frames from pine or poplar, assembling softwood cabinet boxes with pocket joints, or attaching a softwood face frame to a plywood carcass. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, or cherry, a fine-thread screw is the right choice for those materials.

Washer Head, Black Finish, and Square Drive

The washer head distributes clamping force across a broad bearing surface, which keeps the head from sinking past the pocket wall and pulling through softer material. The Black finish reduces visual contrast against dark-stained or painted interiors, so the head is less noticeable when a screw lands in a visible location. The #2 square drive recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit, which matters when working inside a cabinet box where two-handed placement is awkward. Use a correctly sized square bit for best results — an undersized or worn bit will not provide the same retention.

Where This Screw Fits the Shop

This is a production screw for cabinet shops and finish carpenters running softwood or sheet-good work. A 1000-count box covers a full run of base or wall cabinet carcasses without a mid-job reorder. It suits pocket-hole jig setups building face frames from pine or poplar, assembling plywood or MDF drawer boxes, and attaching face frames to cabinet boxes. The coarse thread and Type 17 auger point handle the soft-fiber substrates these jobs call for. Installers joining adjacent cabinet runs through the face-frame stiles will want a longer screw; this length is optimized for the 3/4-inch stock-to-stock joint.
