Wood Screws, Slotted round head, Stainless steel 18-8, #10

Wood screws are specialized fasteners designed for joining wooden materials. They feature a tapered shaft and a sharp tip for easy insertion into wood, with coarse threads that grip the material securely. Typically made of steel, brass, or stainless steel, wood screws come in various lengths and head styles, such as flat, round, or oval, to suit different applications. Their design allows for strong connections while minimizing the risk of splitting the wood.

A slotted round head screw features a rounded head with a single straight slot on top, designed for use with a flathead screwdriver. This type of screw allows for a smooth finish, as the round head sits slightly above the surface while still providing a clean appearance. Slotted round head screws are often used in applications where aesthetic considerations are important, such as in cabinetry and furniture assembly. While they are easy to install, they can be prone to cam-out, which may make them less effective in high-torque situations.
