This UNNOTICED Screw Detail Makes a Big Difference! (COARSE THREAD vs. FINE THREAD)
Most people don't look too closely at the screws that they use...and they might ignore the screw threads altogether. But the orientation and size of the screw threads plays a huge role in fastener usage!
Coarse Thread screws are better for softer materials, like SOFTWOODS and PLYWOODS.
These materials also account for the majority of lumber that we use in residential construction. Therefore, most of our common screws are coarse thread.
But, Fine Thread screws are better for harder materials, like METALS and HARDWOODS. The narrower, shorter threads are less aggressive, and establish more contact points with the material. (However, they often require pre-drilling for usage with lumber.)
Both DRYWALL SCREWS and POCKET SCREWS tend to come in both coarse thread and fine thread.
Fine drywall screws are for driving into steel studs and other soft, thin metals. Coarse drywall screws are for driving into wood.
Fine pocket screws are for embedding into hardwood face frames. Coarse pocket screws are for embedding into softwood face frames, like pine.
Thanks for watching!
