Fast-Cut Timber Fixing with Superior Grip Strength
Efficient timber fixing begins with intelligent screw design. Macsim | Type 17 Screws SP are precision-engineered timber fasteners developed for rapid drive-in performance, minimal fibre disruption & dependable holding power across Australian building sites.
Unlike standard wood screws, Type 17 features a cutting flute at the tip. Carpenters working within Structural Fasteners & Bolts systems rely on this self-drilling profile to reduce splitting, especially near timber edges. Deck installers securing boards with Deck Screws benefit from cleaner penetration without excessive surface cracking.
Because hardwood & treated pine demand strong thread engagement, coarse thread geometry plays a critical role. Builders operating in Commercial Construction environments require SP Type 17 screws that bite aggressively into dense substrates. Framing crews using Drill Accessories appreciate reduced pre-drilling requirements during high-volume fixing. Accurate placement guided by Measuring & Layout Tools ensures consistent spacing across structural members. Teams working in full Construction & Site Wear depend on corrosion-resistant finishes suited to exposed Australian conditions. Efficient stock handling within Tool Storage & Workbenches keeps screw sizes organised during repetitive installations.
Manufactured from hardened steel, Macsim Type 17 Screws SP deliver reliable torque transfer under cordless or impact driving. The sharp cut point clears timber fibres as it advances, reducing stress build-up that causes edge fracture. Head design supports flush seating for a professional finish across framing, fencing & decking projects.
Purpose-built timber fastening for demanding trade environments.
