Wood screw Koelner/Rawlplug TS-6080 6x80 mm, countersunk head, TX drive

Koelner/Rawlplug TS-6080 is a wood screw sized 6x80 mm with a countersunk conical head and TX (Torx) drive. It is designed for fastening timber and wooden constructions where a flush finish and reliable torque transmission are required. The screw’s geometry and thread profile enable secure grip in solid wood and structural assemblies, making it suitable for furniture assembly, decking, framing and general carpentry tasks.

Advantages

The countersunk head provides a flush, recessed finish that reduces the need for additional finishing work. The TX drive design offers better torque transfer and reduced cam‑out compared with slotted or Phillips drives, allowing faster and more controlled installation with a matching Torx bit. The 6 mm diameter and 80 mm length deliver adequate shear and withdrawal strength for typical timber connections, while the thread pattern ensures consistent pull‑out resistance in a variety of wood densities.

Suitable for

• Furniture assembly and repairs
• Deck construction and board fastening
• Timber framing and structural joints
• Interior carpentry and trim work
• General woodworking projects requiring a flush head

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Length: 80 mm
• Head type: Countersunk (conical)
• Drive type: TX (Torx)
• Typical application: Solid wood and wooden assemblies

How to use

Select a Torx bit that matches the TX drive and use a screwdriver or drill with torque control. For dense hardwoods, pre‑drilling a pilot hole close to the screw core diameter is recommended to prevent splitting; for softwoods a smaller pilot hole or self‑tapping insertion may be sufficient. Drive the screw until the head sits flush with the wood surface; avoid excessive torque that could strip the drive or countersink too deeply. For structural connections, follow relevant building codes and use appropriate spacing, edge distance and corrosion protection if exposed to outdoor conditions.

Usage recommendations

For outdoor or high‑moisture environments, choose screws with appropriate corrosion resistance or apply suitable coatings. When installing multiple screws in load‑bearing applications, maintain recommended edge distances and stagger positions to preserve timber strength.
