SPAX says its newest self-tapping screws are well suited to interior woodwork, providing a secure, aesthetically pleasing installation of fine cabinetry and other fine carpentry.

The German-engineered Spax cabinet screws (they are manufactured in the U.S.) have a large, low-profile head design that provides an increased load bearing area. The Multihead countersinks the head flush into the wood, also acting as a brake to prevent stripping when used in attaching metal hardware.

The Spax system employs a T-STAR Plus drive (a driver cone is included in the screw packages). Spax says this promotes exceptional bit engagement, especially for overhead work. Spax’s patented 4CUT Point requires no pre-drilling, with a square end that divides wood fibers to prevent splitting.

SPAX offers numerous other screws, including MDF screws specifically designed to prevent splitting in Medium Density Fiberboard) and hardwoods, also without pre-drilling. SPAX says these are also very effective for attaching lightweight, high-density polyurethane trim. A clean look is achieved from a trim head design, with cutting ribs under the head that allow flush or countersunk installation for a clean look, the company says. spax.us
