120330 SteelMates® - Countersunk Rib Wing

120330 SteelMates® - Countersunk Rib Wing

Designed for fixing timber to meta. Featuring Wings which counterbore a clearance hole in the timber allowing the drill point to drill the timber without threads engaging in it. This prevents timber ride up &/or splitting and drill point damage. The wings snap off when they contact the metal allowing the thread to engage and the ribbed head to self countersink into the timber. Popular sizes are also available in Collated coils. NOT recommended for fixing in decking applications.

1/ Ensure the correct driver tool is fitted to your power drill or screw driver.
2/ Place the screw on the driver tool and position it onto the materials being fastened.
3/ Push sharply to create a centre mark and to prevent screw wander.
4/ Squeeze trigger and maintain steady, low pressure. Do not force the wings through the timber or they may snap prematurely. Once the drill point contacts the steel substrate instantly apply extra pressure to ensure the wings snap off when they contact the steel.
5/ Maintain pressure until the screw has fastened.
Recommended Driving speed is approximately 2,000 r.p.m.
