Chipboard screws 6.0 x 160 partial thread - 100 pcs

Description

Strong 6.0 x 160 mm Wood Screws for Heavy-Duty Structural Connections

These 6.0 × 160 mm partial thread chipboard screws are designed for heavy-duty wood connections where maximum penetration depth and high clamping force are required. The screws are suitable for applications in solid timber, plywood, MDF, OSB and chipboard.

The Torx TX30 drive ensures optimal grip and efficient torque transfer during installation. This prevents cam-out and allows the screw to be driven in smoothly and with full control — even with long screws such as this 160 mm version.

The countersunk head sits neatly flush with the wood surface, providing a clean finish for both structural work and visible applications.

With a 6.0 mm diameter and 160 mm length, this screw is ideal for very heavy wood connections where deep anchoring and maximum stability are essential.

Why choose these chipboard screws?

✔ Ideal for 60–70 mm thick boards and beam connections
✔ Partial thread — powerfully pulls two wooden parts together
✔ 6.0 mm diameter — high load capacity and stability
✔ Torx TX30 — optimal grip with reduced risk of cam-out
✔ Suitable for heavy and load-bearing timber constructions
✔ Pack of 100 pieces — ideal for larger projects

When do you use 6.0 x 160 mm screws?

A 6.0 × 160 mm partial thread chipboard screw is used when a very deep wood connection with maximum clamping force is required.

Typical applications include:

• Fixing 60–70 mm thick boards
  
• Connecting heavy wooden beams and battens
• Structural timber construction
• Heavy frame constructions
• Load-bearing wood-to-wood connections with high stress

Why is 160 mm a logical length?

For a board thickness of approximately 60 mm, the general guideline is:

The screw should penetrate at least 2.5 to 3 times the thickness of the top material into the supporting timber.

60 mm × ±2.7 ≈ 160 mm

Using a 160 mm screw ensures:

✔ Extra deep anchoring in the supporting wood
✔ Very high pull-out resistance
✔ Maximum structural stability

This makes 6.0 × 160 mm ideal for heavy and load-bearing timber constructions.

What makes these 6.0 x 160 mm screws suitable for MDF, plywood and solid timber?

When working with very thick wood components, it is important that:

• The top material is firmly pulled against the supporting timber
• The connection remains stable under load
• The screw penetrates deeply enough into the supporting wood

Thanks to the partial thread, only the lower section of the screw engages the timber. This actively pulls the upper material downward, creating a strong and durable connection.

The 6.0 mm diameter also provides additional torsional and bending strength — especially important for long screws like 160 mm.

Advantages of partial thread at 6.0 x 160 mm

Unlike full thread screws, this version has thread only on the lower section.

This results in:

✔ Maximum clamping force between two wooden parts
✔ Tight and stable connection
✔ Reduced risk of movement or gaps
✔ Optimal wood-to-wood fastening

For heavy structural applications with thick beams, partial thread screws are the best choice.

Installation and mounting advice

For best results:

• Use a Torx TX30 bit
  
• Pre-drilling is usually not required in softwood
• Pre-drilling is strongly recommended in hardwood
• Drive the screw slowly and in a controlled manner (especially at 160 mm length)

Tip: see our category for screwdriver bits and holders to select the correct bit size and quality.
