RSD #8 extra-coarse-thread screws combine a round washer head with a #2 square drive, Type 17 point and plain lubricated finish. A practical starting point for pocket joinery in softwoods; confirm the result in the actual material and joint.

Set up for your material and jig

Choose length and jig settings using your jig manufacturer’s guidance for the material thickness. Check that the head fits the pocket and seats properly. Use a correctly fitting bit and a controlled drive setting, and test a sample before a production run.

A Type 17 point can help starting; additional preparation may still be needed for the actual wood and joint. These screws are for interior woodworking.
