FAQs

What is the 4CUT point?

The 4CUT point is designed to reduce splitting, enable precise positioning, and lower the required screwing-in torque.

Do I need to pre-drill?

Pre-drilling is typically not required for most wood types, but it is recommended for hardwoods.

What materials can I use SPAX screws with?

SPAX screws are suitable for wood, chipboard, MDF, plastic, and thin metal sheet.

What is the yellow zinc plating for?

It provides resistance to rust, weathering, and chemicals.

What type of bit do I need?

You need a Pozi drive bit.

What does MULTIhead do?

The MULTIhead has cutting ribs to help the head countersink easily and reduce thread stripping when fixing hinges.

Are there different sizes available?

Yes, SPAX screws come in a variety of metric sizes.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping

Ensure you are using the correct size Pozi bit and applying appropriate pressure. Reduce the driving speed.

Screw not countersinking properly

Check for obstructions and ensure the pilot hole is the correct size, if pre-drilling.

Screw splitting the wood

Pre-drill a pilot hole, especially in hardwoods, or select a different screw type for the application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces wood splitting, even near edges.
  • No pre-drilling required in most wood types.

Cons

  • Color variation possible due to phasing out of yellow finish.
  • May require pilot holes in very hard woods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Selection: Choose the correct metric size and length for your project.
  2. Bit: Use a Pozi drive bit for optimal performance.
  3. Application: Insert the screw into the material, using moderate pressure and a steady speed.
