Wood screw Koelner/Rawlplug TS-6180 6x180 mm, countersunk head, TX drive

Koelner/Rawlplug TS-6180 6x180 mm is a wood screw with a countersunk (conical) head and a TX (Torx) drive, designed for fastening wooden components where a flush surface is required. The screw length and 6 mm nominal diameter make it suitable for structural carpentry and general wood assembly tasks. The Torx drive reduces cam-out and permits effective torque transfer when used with power tools or manual drivers.

Advantages

The countersunk head allows the screw to sit flush in the wood or be driven slightly below the surface for finishing. TX (Torx) drive provides better engagement between driver and fastener, enabling higher torque application and more consistent installation. The screw geometry is suitable for pulling and securing wooden elements with reliable holding power in typical timber densities. The design supports efficient installation with cordless screwdrivers, impact drivers, or Torx bits for hand tools.

Suitable for

• Structural carpentry and timber framing
• Decking and exterior wood connections (with appropriate corrosion protection)
• Furniture assembly and joinery requiring a flush finish
• Mounting beams, joists and wooden supports

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 6 mm
• Length: 180 mm
• Head type: countersunk (conical)
• Drive type: TX (Torx)
• Intended material: wood and wooden composites

How to use

Pre-drilling is recommended for hard or dense timber and for precise alignment; select a pilot hole diameter appropriate to timber type and screw diameter. Use a Torx bit matching the TX drive to reduce wear and prevent cam-out. Drive the screw until the head is flush with or slightly below the wood surface depending on finishing needs. For exterior or load-bearing applications ensure the screw material and any surface treatment are suitable for the environment and load conditions.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, choose the correct pilot hole diameter and use a torque-controlled driver to avoid over-tightening. If a flush surface is required for finishing, countersink before driving to ensure an even recess. For outdoor or high-humidity conditions, use appropriately coated or stainless fasteners to minimise corrosion.
