#8 Stainless steel flat head phillips wood screws. Wood screws have coarse and deep threads to better anchor into wood. Flat head screws are used for general fastening when the screw head will be flush with the surface or when it will be countersunk and the hole will be plugged. Phillips drive allows for greater torque application when fastening. Stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance.
These marine grade screws provide excellent corrosion resistance and are the work horse for modern boatbuilding or exterior woodworking applications.

Questions & Answers about #8 S/S Wood Screws FP:
2013-05-14BARRY FARRIS asked: which screw has a smaller diameter shaft? 8 or 18?
+Expand Answers
2013-05-14STEVEN JACKSON: The larger the screw size the larger the diameter. #10 is larger than #8, etc. I am not familiar with #18, however, since that would be pretty large.
Steve
2013-05-15DWAYNE KULK: Screws are sized with the diameter number smaller to larger so 8 is smaller than 18. A number 14 happens to be 1/4" diameter
2013-05-15JOHN JEPSON: 8

2013-03-04CHUCK THOMPSON asked: I used to work in a boatshop in the 80's. The most common screw by far was the 1.25" X #8 SS FH phillips wood screw. We used them for everything and almost every "cleat" that was used for interior woodwork. My question is what is the standard for today's boatshop? Is this style screw still the gold standard for boat construction or are people chosing square or some other drive style and if so why?
+Expand Answers
2013-03-06JOHN JEPSON: Hi Chuck I use square drive all the time due to ease of use and the fact that the screw rarely strips. That being said, I have spoken to boat builders who swear by Phillips head. Hope that helps
2013-03-07JACK COLLINGSWORTH: Chuck,
Short answer is yes, it's my "go to" size for a lot of fastening needs anywhere near water.

I have been working in a yard for some time now, and these are still the best all around fasteners. There is always a box of these in the tool kit.

2012-06-22A shopper asked: On screw boxes( for wood) the size is specified like this - 30x7. What does it mean?
+Expand Answers
2012-06-22WILLIAM BERNHARD: I'm not sure if the current boxes of screws I have now are from 2009 or not. Anyway there is no marking on them that says 30X7. Printed markings are for the grade of Stainless 18-8 and then the gauge number and length #8 3/4". Maybe its a metric measurement, wish I could be more helpful.

2012-01-22A shopper asked: i am drilling into an african hardwood with a #8 SS wood screw - do i need to pre-drill a hole or is it okay just to sink it right into the wood?
pre-drilling is kind of a pain, so is there a wood screw that can be used which is designed to self-drill?

2012-01-23GEOFFREY HOOTS: you have to predrill any wood to put a screw in to get a decent job
2012-01-23ANSELM C WEBSTER: Predrilling is a lot less painful then snapping the head on the screw. I have built and restored boats and know this lesson all to well. What I do on a non tapered screws is to get out my caliper, measure the thickhess of the screw down the shaft of the screw then pick a drill bit that is just a tighter then this measurement. Make sure the drill bit is smaller then the shaft of the screw if the threads are removed. This method avoids the worry of misreading the drill bit size. On tapered screws I use a tapered drill bit with adjustable depth and countersink and run a quick test on a piece of scrap wood. to make sure the depth of the drill and the countersink work right with the screw. Hardwood is so expensive these days the I go the extra effort to make sure I don't mess up the wood....PREDRILL.......have fun.
2012-01-23GREGORY MILLER: It better to per drill the hole with a counter sink for the screw head. It will look better and in the long run be easier.
2012-01-24JOHN HEIDEREICH: Take the time to pre drill you will not split the wood or strip the screw.

2011-12-28BARBARA SCHECHTER asked: does this screw work with a #2 phillips head screwdriver?
+Expand Answers
2011-12-28JOHN GAUNTT: Yes. #2 Phillips should work fine. My experience is that only when you get over into the bronze screws that Phillis not work.
2011-12-28Garrett Scott: Yes, these screws will work with a #2 Phillips driver.

2011-12-28PHILIP WESSLING: 9/64 pilot and #2 bit, your good to go
2011-12-29MARVIN REYNOLDS: Yes, a #2 phillips head screwdriver is the right tool for the #8 S/S Wood Screw.
2011-12-30TED MORGAN: Yes. Be sure to dill a pilot hole and counter-sink a place for the head. If you try to force it in you will most likely strip out the X on the head of the bit.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors #8 S/S Wood Screws FP:
I ordered several different sizes of these screws. To me, they work better than the Bronze screws. I'm building a small paddle boat for the kids & myself. The Stainless Steel do not rust and strong when it comes to bow construction where you are bending plywood. Great product!!
