• Countersunk head sits flush with the board face for a neat, snag-free finish.
• Pozi PZ2 recess grips the driver bit well and cuts down on cam-out.
• Coarse single thread grabs chipboard and MDF for a firm, lasting hold.
• Sharp point starts fast and helps reduce splitting near board edges.
• Black finish keeps fixings low-key inside cabinets and units.
• 4.0mm gauge across short to medium lengths suits most carcass panel thicknesses.
• Made for interior furniture assembly, so they work well for flat-pack and fitted joinery.

What are carcass screws?

A carcass screw is a woodscrew made for building furniture carcasses, the boxes that form cabinets, units and wardrobes. The coarse thread and sharp point are set up for man-made board like chipboard and MDF rather than solid timber.

Do you need pilot holes in chipboard?

For most carcass work the sharp point lets you drive straight in. Drilling a small pilot hole near a board edge or in dense MDF is still worth doing, as it lowers the risk of the board splitting.

What size cabinet screws do I need?

A 4.0mm gauge covers the bulk of carcass jobs. Match the length to your panels: pick a screw long enough to pass through the first board and bite well into the second, without breaking through the far face.

What is the difference between carcass screws and normal wood screws?

Standard wood screws are tuned for solid timber. Carcass screws use a coarse single thread and a sharp point that hold better in the chip-based core of chipboard and MDF, so the fixing stays tight.

Can these screws be used outside?

No. This is an interior furniture screw with a black finish, so keep it to indoor cabinet and carcass work. For outdoor jobs pick a screw rated for exterior use.
