Würth #8 x 1-1/2" Washer Head Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Black, 3670000205961 5000 - 5000/Box

1-1/2 Inch Reach And A Washer Head Built For Softwood Face Frames

The Würth #8 x 1-1/2" Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw is a coarse-thread, washer-head screw with a Type 17 Auger point and square drive, designed for pocket-hole joinery and face-frame work in softwood, pine, plywood, and sheet goods. Packed 5000 to the box, it is sized for production cabinet shops and installers who need a consistent fastener for softwood frame construction.

Key Features

• Washer head with flat bearing surface pulls pocket-hole joints tight without burying into softwood face-frame stock.
• Coarse thread grips softwood, pine, plywood, MDF, and particleboard for strong withdrawal resistance in light-density materials.
• Type 17 Auger point features a fluted tip that cuts wood fibers cleanly and reduces driving torque, helping the screw start without a pilot hole in most softwoods.
• #2 square drive is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed pocket placement.
• Black finish keeps the fastener visually low-profile inside painted or dark-finished cabinet interiors.
• 5000 per box supports high-volume production runs without frequent restocking.

Where This Screw Fits In The Build

At 1-1/2 inches, this screw is well suited to the most common softwood face-frame pocket-hole joint: two pieces of 3/4-inch stock joined at roughly 15 degrees through a pocket bore. The washer head bears against the pocket floor and pulls the rail or stile tight to the mating piece as the screw seats. The same length works for attaching a completed softwood face frame to a 3/4-inch cabinet box side, where depth and head profile both matter for a clean, flush result.

This is a coarse-thread screw. It is the right choice for softwood species, pine, poplar, plywood, MDF, melamine, and particleboard. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, or cherry, a fine-thread face-frame screw is the appropriate selection.

Type 17 Auger Point And Square Drive In Daily Production

The Type 17 Auger point carries a longitudinal flute that clears wood fibers as the screw advances, cutting rather than wedging into the material. In softwood pocket-hole work, that chip-clearing action reduces the torque spike at entry and lowers the chance of splitting near the pocket wall. The square drive recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized #2 bit for one-handed placement into the pocket, which matters when a second hand is holding the workpiece in position. Both features work together to keep repetitive pocket-hole driving fast and consistent across a production run.

A Production-Volume Fastener For Softwood Cabinet Work

Cabinet shops building softwood or paint-grade face-frame cabinets, production millwork teams joining pine or poplar frames, and installers attaching pre-built face frames to box cases will find this screw sized and threaded for the work. The black finish blends into dark or painted interiors where the fastener head may remain visible inside the cabinet. At 5000 pieces per box, the pack quantity supports continuous production without stopping to reorder mid-run. This screw is for indoor cabinet and millwork use.

Common Questions

The Right Length Keeps Softwood Face-Frame Work Moving

When the stock is softwood and the joint is 3/4-inch pocket-hole, the 1-1/2-inch Würth face-frame screw puts the washer head, coarse thread, and Type 17 Auger point exactly where the joint needs them. A box of 5000 means the screw is on hand for the full run.
