Reliable 4.5x70 mm Wood Screws for Strong Wood-to-Wood Connections
These 4.5 × 70 mm partial thread chipboard screws are designed for strong and stable wood connections in solid wood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard. The zinc-plated finish makes them suitable for indoor applications and provides protection against light corrosion.
The Torx TX20 drive ensures optimal grip during installation and prevents cam-out. The countersunk head sits flush with the wood surface, creating a clean finish without protruding screw heads.
With a 4.5 mm diameter and 70 mm length, this size is particularly suitable for medium-duty to structural wood connections.
Why choose these chipboard screws?
✔ Ideal for boards and battens 26–28 mm thick
✔ Partial thread profile — powerfully pulls wood sections together
✔ 4.5 mm diameter — higher load capacity than 4.0 mm
✔ Torx TX20 — prevents slipping and damage
✔ Zinc-plated — suitable for indoor use
✔ Pack of 200 pieces — ideal for larger projects
When should you use 4.5 x 70 mm screws?
A 4.5x70 mm partial thread chipboard screw is used for medium-duty wood joints where sufficient penetration depth and clamping force are required.
This size is commonly used for:
- Fixing boards 26–28 mm thick
- Connecting framing and wooden beams
- Interior construction and furniture making
- Installing thick plywood or furniture panels
- Wood-to-wood connections requiring higher pull-out resistance
Why is 70 mm a logical length?
When fastening 28 mm material, the practical rule of thumb is:
The screw should penetrate at least 2.5 to 3 times the thickness of the top material into the lower wood section.
28 mm × 2.5 = 70 mm
This ensures:
- Sufficient penetration depth
- High pull-out resistance
- Improved structural stability
- Reduced risk of loosening
This makes 4.5 x 70 mm a widely chosen size for solid wood constructions.
What makes these 4.5x70 screws suitable for MDF, plywood, and solid wood?
With thicker wood sections, it is important that:
- The top material is firmly pulled down
- The joint does not remain under tension
- The screw provides sufficient grip in the load-bearing wood
Thanks to the partial thread, only the lower section of the screw grips into the wood. This actively pulls the top material downward, ensuring a tight and stable joint.
The 4.5 mm diameter also provides additional torsional strength and bending resistance during deeper installation.
Advantages of partial thread in 4.5x70 mm screws
Unlike fully threaded screws, this version has thread only on the lower section.
This results in:
✔ Higher clamping force between two wooden parts
✔ Better tightening in beam-to-beam connections
✔ Reduced risk of visible gaps
✔ More efficient wood-to-wood fastening
For structural wood connections, partial thread is often more effective than full thread.
Installation and mounting advice
For optimal installation:
- Use a Torx TX20 bit
- Pre-drilling is usually not required in softwood
- A pilot hole is recommended in hardwood
- Drive the screw in steadily for maximum grip
Tip: Check our category for screwdriver bits and holders to select the correct bit size and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Typical applications:
- Fastening 26–28 mm thick boards
- Connecting wooden battens and beams
- Mounting overlay boards
- Furniture and interior constructions
The 70 mm length ensures sufficient anchoring into the underlying timber.
Thanks to the partial thread, extra clamping force is created, resulting in a strong and stable wood joint.- The top timber section is approximately 25–30 mm thick
- The load is light to medium duty
- You want to reduce the risk of splitting in narrower battens
Choose a 5.0 x 80 mm screw when:
- The timber is thicker
- Higher pull-out resistance and clamping force are required
- The construction will carry heavier loads
In hardwood (oak, meranti, bankirai), pre-drilling is strongly recommended to:
- Prevent splitting
- Reduce driving torque
- Avoid screw breakage
Recommended pilot hole size:
- Approx. 3.0–3.5 mm for hardwood
Advantages of Torx drive:
- Optimal torque transfer
- Less cam-out compared to Pozidriv
- Longer lifespan of bit and screw head
- Suitable for powerful cordless drills
Zinc-plated screws are suitable for:
- Indoor applications
- Dry areas
- Lightly humid environments
Examples include:
- Interior constructions
- Furniture assembly
- Finishing work in sheds or garages
How does it work?
- The smooth upper section slides through the first piece of wood
- The threaded section grips into the second piece
- The two wooden parts are pulled tightly together
Benefits in timber connections:
- Higher clamping force
- Stronger structural joint
- Reduced risk of movement or play
A construction screw wafer head has a wide head that distributes pressure over a larger area and is used in heavier, load-bearing timber constructions.
Choose a 4.5 x 70 mm partial thread screw when:
- The fixing must sit flush
- The screw should not be visible
- You are working with boards of approximately 26–28 mm
Choose a washer head screw when:
- Additional load capacity is required
- Beams or heavy structural components are being fixed
