Product Description
What this screw is for
The TIMCO Velocity 3.5 x 30mm is a general-purpose wood screw for fixing timber, chipboard and other wood-based materials — think furniture assembly, fitting installation and general carpentry rather than heavy structural work.
Key specs
- Size: 3.5mm diameter x 30mm length
- Head: countersunk, so it sits flush with the surface once driven home
- Drive: Pozi recess — reduces cam-out (the driver bit slipping out of the screw head) compared with a plain slot
- Finish: yellow zinc plated steel, giving corrosion resistance for interior use
- Material suitability: timber, chipboard and general wood-based fixings
Where it fits
Because it's a 30mm length, it's better suited to lighter-duty fixings where you don't need deep penetration — thin boards, small fittings, cabinet and furniture work. For thicker timber sections you'd want a longer screw so enough thread bites into the base material.
Before you buy
Check your material thickness against the 30mm length so the screw doesn't punch through, and make sure your driver has a Pozi bit (a Phillips bit will cam out more easily in this head). The yellow zinc finish is described for interior building work, so keep that in mind if the fixing will be exposed outdoors.
