  • Product typePins
  • 10-pack supplies enough dowel screws for multiple joints
  • Zinc-plated steel resists corrosion in indoor projects
  • Two pointed ends create hidden wood-to-wood connections
  • Headless design sits flush for a clean finish
  • New condition ensures full thread integrity and strength

Hidden Wood Joints

These zinc-plated steel dowel screws create concealed connections between two timber pieces. Each fastener has pointed ends and no head so the joint remains invisible once assembled. The pack contains ten screws for multiple furniture or cabinetmaking tasks. They suit joiners who need strong, hidden fixings without visible hardware.

Simple Hole Preparation

Drill matching pilot holes in both workpieces then drive the screw halfway into each piece to lock them together. No nuts, washers or brackets are required, freeing up space inside the joint line. The zinc plating resists corrosion in indoor environments. Ten pieces allow several joints from a single pack.

Cabinetmakers Needing Invisible Fixings

Woodworkers who want flush, hidden joints in chairs, tables or frames will find these suitable. Builders requiring headed screws, threaded rods or metal-to-wood connections should choose different fasteners. The plain shank design offers no adjustment once driven, so precise alignment is essential before installation.

Questions about this item

What limits the holding power of these 5/16" dowel screws under sustained load?

The zinc-plated steel shank and thread engagement in the wood determine the joint strength; no head means the full length transfers shear between the two pieces.

Will driving ten of these 4-1/2" screws all day generate noticeable heat in the workpiece?

Hand or low-speed power driving produces negligible heat in the wood; the steel screws themselves remain at ambient temperature during installation.

Which pilot-hole size must I already have drilled for these 5/16" dowel screws to work?

A clearance hole matching the 5/16" shank diameter in the receiving piece and a smaller pilot hole in the starting piece are required before threading the screws in.
