Würth #8 x 1-1/2" Washer Head Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Black, 3670000205961 1000 - 1000/Box

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

The Würth #8 x 1-1/2" Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw is a coarse-thread washer head fastener with a Type 17 Auger point and a #2 square drive, packaged 1000 to the box. The 1-1/2-inch length is a standard match for pocket-hole joinery in 3/4-inch softwood, plywood, and sheet goods, pulling joints tight without breaking through the back face.

Key Features

• Washer head distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, keeping the joint tight without burying into the pocket wall.
• Coarse thread for softwood and sheet goods provides strong pull-out resistance in pine, plywood, MDF, and melamine-faced particleboard.
• Type 17 Auger point clears wood fibers with an extended fluted tip, reducing driving torque and splitting risk in the pocket bore.
• #2 square drive recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for controlled placement in tight pocket angles.
• Black finish keeps fastener heads visually low-profile in dark cabinet interiors and painted face frame assemblies.
• 1000-piece box keeps the supply bench stocked for production cabinet runs.

Where the 1-1/2-Inch Length Fits

At 1-1/2 inches, this screw is calibrated for pocket-hole joints in 3/4-inch stock — the thickness used for most softwood face frames, plywood cabinet boxes, and melamine carcasses. Driving at the standard 15-degree pocket angle, the screw travels diagonally through the pocket and threads fully into the mating piece without the tip emerging on the opposite face. That clean stop matters on painted face frames and cabinet sides where a protruding tip would require patching. The same length handles rail-to-stile face frame joinery and cabinet box assembly in softwood and sheet goods equally well, making it a single-size solution for a large share of production framing work.

Washer Head, Square Drive, and the Type 17 Auger Point

The washer head on this screw sits flat against the pocket wall and spreads clamping force across a broad surface. That bearing geometry pulls the joint together without the head wedging or cracking the pocket, which matters in narrow rails and thin softwood stiles. The Type 17 Auger point extends the standard Type 17 flute for deeper chip clearing and a faster, cleaner bite in the angled entry of a pocket bore. The #2 square drive recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit, which helps with one-handed placement when working inside a cabinet box or at awkward pocket angles. The Black finish is applied over the full screw, including the head, so fasteners blend into dark melamine interiors and painted assemblies rather than drawing attention at inspection.

Production Cabinet Shops and Site Installers

A box of 1000 is sized for shops running pocket-hole jigs through full kitchen or bath cabinet sets, where burning through loose hardware mid-run costs time. Site installers assembling face frames or cabinet boxes in place get the same benefit: enough screws on hand to finish the job without a re-supply trip. The coarse thread and washer head combination performs consistently in pine, poplar, soft maple, birch plywood, and melamine particleboard — the materials that dominate softwood face frame and box construction. For hardwood face frames in oak, cherry, or hard maple, a fine-thread version is the better fit; coarse thread is the right call here for the softwood and engineered-panel applications where this screw earns its keep.

Common Questions

The Right Screw Keeps the Joint Tight and the Run Moving

When the material is softwood or sheet goods and the joint is a pocket hole in 3/4-inch stock, this screw has the length, thread, head, and point to do the job cleanly — 1000 times per box.
