Episode 2: Screw Anatomy: Heads, Threads, & Drives is live—and it’s the perfect starting point.
As fastener experts, our team at Big Timber Fasteners understands the importance of quality products, as well as quality education. Better building begins with knowing every part of the materials you’re working with.
In the second installment of our Big Timber Screw 101 series, Brent Hodgkins breaks down the fastener anatomy from head to tip. He’ll explain the importance of understanding different thread sizes, how the knurl and tip engage with different types of material, and what affects fastener performance.
Avoid the frustration of not knowing what screws to select by watching our short guide on the bits and pieces of fastener anatomy. We are here to help you learn the functions of each part of a fastener, so you can avoid pesky mistakes such as cam-out, or stripping.
More importantly, Brent will demonstrate why Big Timber fasteners with a Type 17 tip can make your projects faster and easier by eliminating the extra step of creating a pilot hole.
