    Quickscrews #8 x 1-5/8" Flat Head Assembly Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Zinc, 12616 - 6000/Box

    Description

    Quickscrews #8 x 1-5/8 Flat Head Assembly Use

    Quickscrews #8 x 1-5/8 flat head screw is a case hardened assembly screw with a Type 17 auger point and coarse thread in a zinc finish, so it is built for consistent driving and holding power in woodworking and cabinet assembly tasks. The flat head design lets the screw seat flush in standard countersunk holes, which keeps hinge plates, brackets, and other hardware sitting flat against the work surface. The #2 square drive interface reduces cam-out under torque, which supports steady driving with power tools and less bit slippage during repetitive work. Lengths over 1 inch are threaded two-thirds from the bottom of the screw, which leaves a smooth shank near the head to help clamp parts together tightly. The coarse thread pattern bites quickly, which is useful when pulling components together during production or installation.

    Key Fastener Details For Woodworking Jobs

    • The #8 diameter and 1-5/8 inch length give a familiar, versatile size, so installers can tie into typical cabinet and casework stock while maintaining predictable bite and penetration.
    • The Type 17 auger point helps the screw start into wood with less walking, supporting faster driving and reduced splitting in common construction materials.
    • Case hardened construction provides a tough driving core, so the screw resists head rounding and shank damage during high-volume assembly work.
    • The coarse thread pattern advances quickly, helping parts draw together firmly with fewer turns and supporting efficient tool cycle time on the bench or on site.
    • The zinc finish adds a protective surface over the steel, which helps the screw maintain appearance and serviceability in typical indoor woodworking environments.

    Installation Behavior And Drive Style Details

    This Quickscrews 12616 assembly screw uses a #2 square drive, giving installers a stable bit engagement that supports positive drive in overhead, vertical, and tight-access positions. All lengths over 1 inch are threaded two-thirds from the bottom of the screw, so the partially unthreaded upper shank helps draw joint faces together as the threads pull from the tip section. The flat head profile is designed to sit level in a countersunk recess, which helps hardware and joinery components line up cleanly on cabinet sides, rails, or panels without rocking. The Type 17 auger point works with the coarse thread to establish a quick bite, helping the screw move into the material smoothly while maintaining control during power driving.

    Using This Quickscrews Fastener In Assemblies

    Where This #8 x 1-5/8 Screw Fits In

    The Quickscrews #8 x 1-5/8 flat head assembly screw with coarse thread and Type 17 auger point is suited to general assembly where a flush-head, countersunk fastener is required in wood-based materials. The 1-5/8 inch length offers reach through typical cabinet components and into framing or mating members, giving installers flexibility across carcass, face frame, and support connections that use similar stock thicknesses. Because this screw uses a #2 square drive, it pairs with standard square drive bits already common in many woodworking and cabinet shops, supporting a consistent driving setup across related fasteners. The zinc finish matches many indoor fastener applications, so the screw can be used where a bright plated appearance is acceptable.

    Details That Support Repeatable Assembly Results

    The case hardened construction of the Quickscrews 12616 assembly screw supports repeatable torque application, helping maintain head integrity under repeated bit engagement during production or install runs. The design where lengths over 1 inch are threaded two-thirds from the bottom of the screw helps the unthreaded upper shank act as a clamp section, improving pull-together action at the joint line when the screw is seated. The Type 17 auger point works with the coarse thread to establish fast starting and driving, which can reduce wandering at the tip and help screws follow layout lines accurately. The flat head geometry lets this square drive flat head screw sit flush with or just below the surface of the countersink, which is important when hardware, trim, or panels need to register tightly against the fastened member without interference from a proud fastener head.

    Common Questions About Quickscrews 12616 Use

    What type of drive does the Quickscrews 12616 screw use?
