Metallics SSDS8M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill for a T-17 point deck screw?
No. The T-17 point on the SSDS8M is a self-drilling type point that cuts its own pilot as it enters, which is what keeps softwood decking and trim from splitting near board ends. Dense hardwood decking is the exception where most installers still pre-drill.
2) Will a bugle head screw sit flush in a deck board?
Yes. The SSDS8M has a bugle head, which is the flared countersinking profile that pulls itself level with the board face without a separate countersink, so you get a flush finish on decking and trim. Flat or pan head screws stand proud unless you drill for them.
3) Is the Metallics SSDS8M a general purpose screw or specifically a deck screw?
It is sold as a deck screw: #8 by 1-1/2 inch, bugle head, self-drilling T-17 point. That combination works for decking, fencing, wood trim and light fastening into framing. For sheet metal, drywall track, or machine threads, a different fastener type is the right call.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order the 8 x 1-1/2 bugle deck screw?
Order it as Metallics SSDS8M. That number covers the full 1000 piece box of #8 x 1-1/2 inch bugle head T-17 deck screws, so quantity does not need separate specification.
