Premium Stainless Steel Chipboard Screws (Torx Drive): The Professional’s Choice
At Handan Bolt, we manufacture high-performance Stainless Steel Chipboard Screws tailored for professional carpentry and outdoor construction. Unlike standard screws, our premium line features the advanced Torx (Star) Drive system. Produced in our Yongnian facility using high-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel wire, these screws offer superior grip, easy installation, and lifetime resistance to rust. They are the ultimate fastening solution for decking, furniture manufacturing, and marine woodworking.
What is a Chipboard Screw?
A Chipboard Screw is a self-tapping screw with a thin shaft and coarse threads. It is designed to grip firmly into particleboard, wood, and composite materials without splitting the grain. The deep thread profile ensures high pull-out resistance, making it essential for assembling modern furniture and timber structures.
The Torx Drive Advantage
As clearly shown in your product image, our screws feature a 6-point star-shaped recess known as the Torx Drive (Read more on Wikipedia). Why switch from Phillips to Torx?
- No Cam-Out: The biggest frustration with Phillips screws is the driver slipping out (cam-out) under pressure, stripping the screw head. The Torx design completely eliminates this, allowing for higher torque transmission.
- One-Handed Installation: The tight fit between the bit and the screw means the screw stays on the bit without wobbling, making installation easier in difficult angles.
- Longer Bit Life: Less slippage means less wear and tear on your power tool bits.
Material Specifications: 304 vs. 316 Stainless
Wood screws used outdoors must resist corrosion. We offer two premium grades:
1. Stainless Steel 304 (A2)
The standard for outdoor decking and fencing.
- Performance: Excellent resistance to rain and humidity. Suitable for all woods including pressure-treated lumber (which can corrode normal steel).
- Application: Garden furniture, pergolas, and exterior cladding.
2. Stainless Steel 316 (A4)
The ultimate “Marine Grade” protection.
- Performance: Contains Molybdenum to resist salt water and chlorides.
- Application: Boat building, boardwalks near the ocean, and pool decks.
Head Design: Flat Countersunk
Our screws feature a Flat Countersunk Head with self-countersinking ribs (nibs) on the underside.
Benefit: As the screw is driven home, the nibs clear away debris, allowing the head to sink perfectly flush with the wood surface for a smooth, clean finish. This is critical for flooring and tabletops where protruding screw heads are a hazard.
Common Applications
These versatile screws are the workhorses of the woodworking industry:
- Decking & Flooring: The Torx drive allows for fast installation of thousands of screws without fatigue.
- Cabinetry: Assembling chipboard (particle board) carcasses and MDF panels.
- Timber Framing: Structural connections in softwoods and hardwoods.
- DIY Projects: The preferred screw for home renovation enthusiasts who demand quality.
Why Source from Handan Bolt?
Precision Manufacturing: Our cold-heading process ensures the Torx recess is deep and defined, guaranteeing a perfect bit fit every time.
Heat Treatment: Even though they are stainless, our screws undergo a hardening process to prevent snapping during installation into hardwoods.
Packaging: We offer bulk boxes (1000 pcs) for contractors or small blister packs for retail.
