What is the Difference between Chipboard Screws and Regular Wood Screws?

While both chipboard screws and regular wood screws serve the same basic purpose of fastening wood materials, chipboard screws are specifically designed for use with engineered woods like MDF, particleboard, and chipboard. They feature finer threads and sharper tips to reduce the likelihood of splitting these materials. Chipboard screws are also designed to handle pull-out forces more effectively, ensuring a stronger bond compared to regular wood screws.

Do I need to Pre-Drill for Chipboard Screws?

In most cases, you don’t need to pre-drill pilot holes for chipboard screws, especially when using self-tapping screws. However, for thicker or more dense chipboard, pre-drilling may help reduce the risk of splitting the material and ensures smoother insertion. If you are using longer screws, it’s a good idea to drill a small pilot hole to guide the screw.
