Silvermate chipboard screws 5.0 x 70 partial thread - 200 pcs

What is the SilverMate 5.0 x 70 mm chipboard screw?

The SilverMate 5.0 x 70 mm chipboard screw is a quality screw for applications where wooden parts need to be firmly connected. Thanks to the 70 mm length, the screw grips well into the wood, while the 5 mm diameter provides a strong connection.

This version is equipped with partial thread. This means that only the lower part of the screw has thread. As a result, the wooden parts are pulled tightly together during installation.

The Torx TX20 drive provides plenty of grip during installation. This allows powerful and controlled fastening. It makes this SilverMate screw suitable for universal applications in many types of wood.

• Torx drive: provides better grip and good power transmission.
• Partial thread: pulls wooden parts tightly together.
• 5.0 mm diameter: suitable for strong connections.
• 70 mm length: suitable for solid anchoring in wood.
• Zinc plated: finished with a zinc-plated coating.

When do you use 5.0 x 70 mm screws?

A 5.0 x 70 mm screw is used when a wood connection requires grip and clamping force. Thanks to the 70 mm length, this screw is suitable for wood-to-wood connections where the screw must grip sufficiently into the wood.

Why is 70 mm technically logical? With wood connections, the screw must grip sufficiently deep into the timber. This creates a stable connection with good clamping force and long-term reliability.

Benefits of partial thread with 5.0 x 70 mm

With wood screws, partial thread is an important advantage. Because the upper part of the screw has no thread, the upper wooden part can be pulled freely against the lower wooden part.

This creates strong clamping between both wooden parts. This is especially important for wood-to-wood connections, battens, beams and solid wood constructions.

• wooden parts are actively pulled together
• good clamping force is created
• the upper wooden part stays tight against the lower part
• the connection becomes more stable and neatly finished

For many wood-to-wood connections, partial thread is more effective than full thread. Choosing the right thread type can improve clamping performance and overall connection strength.

Installation advice for SilverMate 5.0 x 70 mm

For the best installation results, always use the correct bit, suitable power tool and proper working method. Because of the 70 mm length, controlled installation is recommended, especially in hardwood or when fastening near the edge of timber.

• Always use a matching Torx TX20 bit.
• Use a powerful drill driver with sufficient torque.
• Pre-drilling is generally unnecessary in softwood.
• Pre-drilling is recommended in hardwood.
• Drive the screw steadily to prevent excessive wear on the screw, bit and timber.
• Avoid fastening too close to timber edges without pre-drilling to reduce the risk of splitting.

The Torx drive delivers excellent grip and efficient torque transfer. When working with hardwood, end grain or edge applications, pre-drilling often remains the preferred solution.

Not sure about the correct screw length?

Is 70 mm slightly too long or too short for your project? Consider other SilverMate screws within the same range. Different lengths provide more or less anchoring depth while maintaining the same reliable SilverMate quality.
