Frequently asked questions about slotted wood screws

What is a slotted countersunk wood screw used for?

Slotted countersunk screws are normally used in woodworking, joinery, and restoration projects. The slot head provides a more traditional appearance, while the countersunk head allows a flush finish every time.

Can I use these screws outdoors or in marine environments?

Yes - Manufactured in A2 stainless steel offers a high level of corrosion-resistant, making these screws suitable for both internal and external projects including decking, fencing, and gates. 

For areas near salt water and marine environments, A4 stainless steel is recommended as this offers a very high resistance to corrosion and are specifically used for marine environments.

Can I use a power driver with slotted screws?

Yes, with caution - The slotted head screws can be used with power tools, but manual screwdrivers are recommended to avoid slipping or damaging the head. If you do need to use a power tool, a steady slow approach is advised.

What size pilot hole should I drill?

For hardwoods, a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter is recommended. For softwoods, the pilot hole can be narrower or sometimes skipped. For example, a 2.5 - 3mm pilot hole would be ideal in hardwood for a screw that’s 4mm wide.

Are A2 stainless slotted screws magnetic?

No - A2 stainless is typically non-magnetic or only slightly magnetic after cold working.
