The woodscrew, a secondarily made
product of wire rod, is enjoying an excellent
demand side by side with wire
nails, bolts and nuts. Woodscrews generally
have the head tapered to a point
and the shank threaded, and are being
used mainly for fastening woodwork.
The head is commonly of the countersunk
shape and is slotted suitably for
the screw driver. The size of woodscrews
is designated by the gauge number of
the shank and by the full length. The
most popular size is 1/2" x GAUGE No.
4 to 3" x GAUGE No. 14. As is seen
on the wooden furniture and railway
coaches, woodscrews are being used in
various industrial fields such as the
woodworking industry, musical instrument
manufacturing industry, furniture
manufacturing industry, automotive industry,
rolling-stock manufacturing industry,
etc. Recently, woodscrews have
become an essential item of do-it-yourselfers.
Thus, like wire nails, woodscrews
are being used in general households
by Sunday carpenters. |
