FAQs

What is the WIROX coating?

The WIROX coating is a surface treatment providing excellent corrosion protection.

Do I need to pre-drill?

No, pre-drilling is generally not required due to the 4CUT point, but it may be beneficial for hardwoods.

What is the purpose of the T-STAR plus bit recess?

It provides a secure fit for the bit, preventing slippage and ensuring efficient driving.

What materials are these screws suitable for?

They are suitable for various wood types and construction materials, including battens and squared timbers.

What sizes are available?

The screws are available in various sizes; 6.0 x 80mm is one option, and other sizes like 6.0 x 140mm, 6.0 x 160mm, 8mm x 100mm, 8mm x 200mm, and 10.0 x 300 mm are available.

How do I prevent the screw from stripping the wood?

Ensure you are using the correct bit size and driving the screw in a straight line with adequate pressure. Avoid over-tightening.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping

Ensure the correct size T-STAR bit is used and apply consistent pressure while driving the screw. Reduce the drill speed.

Wood splitting during installation

Pre-drill pilot holes if working with hardwood. Ensure the screw is aligned correctly.

Screw not going in straight

Make sure the drill is perpendicular to the surface and apply even pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Selection: Choose the appropriate screw size based on the thickness of the wood and the desired hold. Consider the length of the screw based on the material thickness.
  2. Compatibility: These screws are compatible with various types of wood and construction materials.
  3. Installation: Use a drill with a T-STAR bit to drive the screws. Ensure the screw head sits flush with the surface without over-tightening.
