The EPCO BB100 is a #6 x 5/8-inch breadboard screw designed specifically for attaching breadboard ends to tabletops, benchtops, and solid-wood panels while allowing the main panel to expand and contract with seasonal moisture changes. Zinc-plated and sized for light wood joinery, it comes in a 25-piece pack suited to small-batch shop work.
Breadboard ends are a classic solid-wood joinery detail, but they fail when the fastener fights the wood instead of working with it. The BB100 is designed for this joint specifically: it secures the breadboard end to the panel while the elongated slot or clearance in the breadboard allows the main top to expand and contract across the grain without splitting or buckling. Using a general-purpose screw here risks locking the joint too tightly and causing exactly the damage the breadboard is meant to prevent. The BB100 removes that risk by pairing a short 5/8-inch length with a #6 shank sized for the shallow stock typical of breadboard joinery.
The zinc plating delivers reliable corrosion protection for indoor furniture and cabinet shop environments. The hybrid wood/machine thread form allows the screw to seat properly whether it is threading into solid wood or into a pre-tapped or threaded insert in the breadboard end assembly. The #2 drive keeps installation straightforward with any standard Phillips or compatible bit.
This screw is a natural fit for furniture makers, cabinet shops, and woodworkers building solid-wood dining tables, workbenches, or any panel with attached breadboard ends. The 25-piece count supports a standard four- to six-screw breadboard installation with spares on hand. It is an indoor screw built for dry, climate-controlled environments where solid-wood movement is the primary design concern, not weather exposure.
A standard wood screw threads tightly into both the panel and the breadboard end, which can lock the joint and cause the tabletop to split or cup as the wood moves. The BB100 is sized and threaded to work within the breadboard joint system, letting the panel move while the end stays attached.
The BB100 uses a #2 drive size, which mates with a standard #2 Phillips or compatible bit.
No. The zinc finish is designed for dry interior applications. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, a corrosion-resistant coating rated for exterior exposure would be needed.
Each pack contains 25 screws, enough for a standard breadboard end build with extras to spare.
It means the thread form is designed to engage both wood and threaded hardware components, making it compatible with breadboard joint systems that use a pre-tapped insert or threaded fitting alongside solid-wood engagement.
Reach for the EPCO BB100 when the joint requires a fastener that holds the breadboard in place without fighting the natural movement of a solid-wood panel.
