DIN967 Stainless Steel 304 Cross Pan Wafer Head Machine Thread Screw

Wafer head fasteners (which may resemble cross-disc round head screws) are suitable for joining a variety of materials such as plywood, OSB, Douglas fir and southern pine for applications such as outdoor furniture.

Round Wafer head fasteners get their name from their head design. A round head is a low-profile head that has a larger diameter compared to the body and shank of the fastener. Its one-piece design offers distinct advantages.

The larger diameter round head makes more contact with the material beneath it, so no additional washers are required to achieve a secure hold. You get more surface area for a more secure connection while maintaining a nice, clean look.

The low profile of the Wafer head allows the screw to sit almost flush with the material beneath it. This makes it ideal for furniture, cabinets, window installations, board joining and shelving.

The Wafer head provides a wider surface area that distributes the holding force more evenly. Wafer head screws are less likely to drive through materials such as cork.

Despite the larger surface area of ​​the wafer head, its low profile still creates a nice, clean look.
