Screw for screwing without a pilot hole and without producing splits or bulges in the material into: MDF panels, laminated panels and thin chipboard, thin wood or plywood, matchboard and angular frames, edges and corners (including diagonal ones).
SMALL HEAD
with self-countersinking ribs to penetrate into the material avoiding the “wedge effect” while tightening.
PARTIAL THREADING
to obtain rapid and effective tightening even in joining thick panels.
CRACK-PROOF AF DRILLING TIP
which pierces the wood like a drill bit, removing the shavings from the material. The hole receives the thread which penetrates without splitting.

CHROMITING® GALVANIC TREATMENT

- Example of screwing without a pilot hole close to an edge: comparison between the Panelvit® AF screw and a traditional screw. The Panelvit® AF screw does not split the wood.
- Section of the screw that shows the characteristics of the carbonitriding treatment.
- Graph comparing a Panelvit® screw and a traditional screw that shows the ability of LUBEX® lubrication to considerably reduce the tightening effort.
