Basic types of woodscrews

Arkwell Fasteners Ltd stock a wide range of woodscrews in a range of materials and finishes, including Stainless Steel; Bright Zinc Plate and Self Colour (although self colour is becoming obsolete) Woodscrews are classified by the type of drive, the shape of head, and its length.

Types of drive

The two basic drive designs are single slot and crosshead, crossheads are normally either ‘Philips’ or ‘Pozidrive’, ‘Pozidrive’ being the most popular of the crossheads, these require specific types of
screwdriver. It is always important to use the correct size of screw driver to ensure that the workpiece and screw are not damaged.

Head shapes

Countersunk heads can be concealed below the woods surface; raised heads are countersunk with a slight domed head; round heads rest on the surface. Wood type screws are also normally used for securing into wall plugs. Screws for chipboard usually have 2 threads the full length of the shank.

Screw sizes

Screws are sized by gauge number and length. The gauge number was thought up by someone with a weird mind, if the gauge is not known, simply measure the diameter of the head in sixteenths of an inch, take away one and double – that is the gauge number.

Example:

if the head is a quarter of an inch, that equates to 4 sixteenths;
take away 1 equals 3;
double that equals 6, so it is a 6 gauge screw.

The length of screw is taken from the surface of the material to the point of the screw.

A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used opposite a mating to fasten a stack of parts together. The two partners are kept together by a combination of their threads’ friction, a slight stretch of the bolt, and compression of the parts. In applications where vibration or rotation may work a nut loose, various locking mechanisms may be employed.

A nyloc nut, also referred to as a nylon insert lock nut, is a kind of locknut. It is a nut with a nylon collar insert that resists turning. These nuts are also referred to as “nylok” or “nylock”.

Arkwell Fasteners Ltd supply a wide range of all metal self-locking nuts for various applications. Most metric all metal locknuts are available ex stock and other sizes are available to order.
