Wood screw Koelner/Rawlplug TS-6070 6x70 mm, countersunk head, TX drive

Koelner/Rawlplug TS-6070 is a 6x70 mm wood screw with a countersunk (conical) head and a TX (Torx) drive. Engineered for joining and fastening wooden elements, this screw provides a flush finish when driven into the material and is suitable for a range of carpentry and joinery tasks where a reliable mechanical connection is required. The Torx drive reduces cam-out and allows higher torque transfer compared with standard Phillips or slotted drives.

Advantages

The countersunk head ensures the screw sits flush with or slightly below the wood surface, allowing neat finishing and reducing the need for additional milling. The TX drive improves driver engagement and minimizes screw cam-out under higher torque, giving consistent insertion and reduced damage to the screw head. The 6x70 mm size provides good penetration for medium-thickness boards and structural wooden components while maintaining a compact profile for discrete fastening.

Suitable for

• Fastening decking boards, planks and floorboards to wooden substructures
• Joining timber framing elements and beams in interior carpentry
• Fixing wooden furniture components and cabinetry where a flush surface is required
• General joinery work and renovations involving medium-thickness wood panels

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 6 mm
• Length: 70 mm
• Head type: countersunk (conical) for flush seating
• Drive type: TX (Torx) for improved torque transfer and reduced cam-out
• Material: steel (suitable for typical wood fastening applications)
• Intended use: wood-to-wood fastening and carpentry joints

How to use

Select an appropriate Torx driver bit that matches the screw's TX size and, if working with hardwood or near edges, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole to prevent splitting. Position the screw perpendicular to the work surface and drive it steadily until the head is flush with the wood or slightly recessed as required. Use controlled torque to avoid overdriving; when a power driver is used, reduce speed near final seating to ensure a clean finish. For visible surfaces, countersinking depth can be adjusted to allow for filler or plug finishing.

Usage recommendations

For best results in structural or load-bearing applications, follow local building regulations and combine screws with appropriate glue or additional mechanical fasteners where specified. When working outdoors or in high-humidity environments, consider using screws with a corrosion-resistant coating suitable for exterior use.
