Wood screw Koelner/Rawlplug TS-3035 3×35 mm, countersunk head, TX drive

Koelner/Rawlplug TS-3035 is a 3×35 mm wood screw with a countersunk (conical) head and a TX (Torx) drive, designed for reliable connections in timber and joinery. The screw’s dimensions and head profile allow it to sit flush with the surface after installation, while the Torx drive reduces cam-out and enables higher torque transfer compared with standard Phillips or slotted heads. It is intended for fastening wooden components in furniture, carpentry and general woodwork where a clean, recessed finish is required.

Advantages

The countersunk head provides a neat, flush finish that can be concealed or left visible depending on the application. The TX (Torx) drive improves bit engagement and reduces stripping, making installation faster and more consistent with power drivers. The thread form is optimized for wood to achieve secure holding and good pull-out resistance in common timber types. The screw’s 3 mm shank diameter and 35 mm length suit a wide range of light- to medium-duty wood joining tasks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Furniture assembly and repairs
• Interior carpentry and joinery
• Fixing trim, moldings and panels
• DIY woodworking projects
• Mounting small wooden fixtures and fittings

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 3 mm
• Length: 35 mm
• Head type: countersunk (conical) head for flush installation
• Drive type: TX (Torx) for improved bit engagement
• Material: suitable for wood fastening (steel or plated steel typical for this screw type)
• Thread: wood thread profile for enhanced holding in timber

How to use

Pre-drill a pilot hole appropriate to the timber type and the screw diameter if working near edges, in hardwood, or when preventing splitting is important. Select a Torx driver bit that matches the TX socket for correct engagement. Drive the screw until the head is flush with the surface or slightly countersunk to the desired depth. When a completely concealed finish is required, sink the screw head slightly below the surface and fill over with wood filler or a plug. For repetitive work use a power driver with torque control to avoid overdriving.

Usage recommendations

Use pilot holes in hardwood or near board ends to reduce splitting. Match screw length to material thickness so the thread fully engages the receiving piece without protruding. Use corrosion-resistant coated screws or appropriate finishes when fastening in damp or exterior-exposed environments.
