Buckingham Trade Counter: Ask Roy #7
Q: I’ve got a problem with timber splitting when I’m putting in screws, what can I do?
A: Quest sell Optimaxx screws at the trade counter, online and through phone sales, this very popular range of screws are self countersinking and self cutting.
The sizes are from 3.5 x 20mm to 6.0 x 180mm. Optimaxx screws have a razor sharp point, a sharp sawtooth, a deep wide thread and 24 unique grooves on the head.
With a specifically positioned long thin groove that reduces the pressure build up on insertion by dispensing wood fibres. The sharp saw-tooth formation cut out of the bottom threads bites into the timber reducing torque and resistance, enabling penetration without a pilot hole. Quick Order Now!
