About Balsam Point Workshop 30-Pack - Heavy Duty Figure 8
12-gauge steel fastener easily and securely connects table tops or desk tops to their apron. Using a 11/16” (or 5/8" will work in a pinch) spade or forstner bit, simply bore a shallow hole in the rail or apron of your project, so the fastener top sits flush with the top of rail. Attach the fastener with a #6 screw into the apron, then secure the wooden top surface with another #6 screw. Simple chisel work near the shallow boring may be necessary to ensure a proper bedding and free lateral movement of the fastener. Fasteners are countersunk on opposite sides to keep screw heads flush. It's important to secure screws to a snug fit, but do not over tighten to allow for seasonal wood movement. Screws are NOT INCLUDED; depending on your project, wood stock thicknesses will vary, so it’s imperative to select a screw length that will adequately suit your individual needs. As with any form of adhering a table or desk top to a rail or apron, it’s important to always lift the project by the rails and not the top surface.
