The Kreg #8 x 1-inch Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw is a coarse-thread washer head screw with a square drive and Type 17 Auger point, sized for joining 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch softwood stock in pocket-hole and face-frame applications. Each box contains 1,200 screws.
At 1 inch, this screw is sized for pocket-hole joints in material ranging from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. That range covers the rails, stiles, and dividers that make up most softwood face frames, as well as thin plywood and sheet-good panels. When a pocket-hole jig is set for 3/4-inch stock, a 1-inch coarse-thread screw is the standard pairing — long enough to reach the mating piece, short enough not to punch through the far face. For thicker stock, a longer screw in the same family is the right call.
Coarse threads grip softwood, pine, and poplar the way the material demands: wide thread spacing bites into open grain quickly and resists pull-out as the joint closes. The washer head distributes clamping load across the joint face rather than concentrating it at a small countersink point, which is exactly what you want when drawing a thin rail flush against a stile. The square drive recess holds the screw on a correctly sized bit during placement, which matters when you are driving at the awkward angles a pocket often demands. The Type 17 Auger point starts cleanly in softwood, cuts its own path, and keeps splitting in check on narrow stiles where there is not much wood to work with.
Cabinet shops building softwood or poplar face frames will run through 1-inch coarse-thread screws in volume. The same screw handles pocket-hole assembly on furniture panels, drawer box rails, and light cabinet carcass work in plywood or MDF. Contractors and finish carpenters assembling built-ins on site will find the 1,200-count box a practical quantity for a run of cabinets. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, or cherry, a fine-thread version is the better choice; coarse thread is at home here in softer species and engineered panels.
The 1-inch length is sized for pocket-hole joints in material from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick, which covers most softwood face-frame stock and thin plywood panels.
Coarse threads have wider spacing that bites into open-grained softwoods like pine and poplar more aggressively than fine threads, providing better pull-out resistance in those materials. Fine thread is the right choice for dense hardwoods like maple or oak.
Yes. The 1-inch length and washer head work for attaching a 3/4-inch face frame to a cabinet box using pocket-hole technique, as long as the combined stock thickness fits the 1-inch engagement.
This screw uses a coarse thread, which is designed for softwoods and sheet goods. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, cherry, or similar species, a fine-thread face-frame screw is recommended to reduce splitting risk.
This screw uses a #2 square drive bit. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement at the pocket.
For shops and contractors running softwood or poplar face frames in quantity, the Kreg 1-inch coarse-thread pocket-hole screw in a 1,200-count box keeps the job moving without stopping to restock mid-run.
