Introducing the ultimate solution for securing your wooden table tops: the Figure 8 Heavy Duty Fasteners by Podoy. Designed specifically for durability and flexibility, these fasteners are crafted from high-quality 12-gauge carbon steel, which is nearly 1/8′ thick. This ensures that your table tops remain securely attached while allowing for seasonal expansion and contraction of the wood, a crucial feature for maintaining the integrity of your furniture.

Each fastener measures 1-3/16′ x 5/8′ and comes in a pack of 30, complete with 60 screws. The screws are zinc-coated to prevent rusting and corrosion, providing a long-lasting solution for your woodworking projects. The countersunk holes are designed for #6 flat head screws, ensuring that the screw heads remain flush with the surface for a clean and professional finish.

One of the standout features of these fasteners is their shape. The figure-eight design allows for easy pivoting as the tabletop expands and contracts. This movement helps to prevent splitting, making them ideal for larger tops that require more wood movement. They are best suited for installation on the end aprons of your furniture, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Installation is straightforward. Simply attach the fastener to the apron using a #6 screw, and then secure the wooden top surface with another #6 screw. Depending on your project’s specifics, you may need to perform some simple chisel work near the shallow boring to ensure a proper bedding and allow free lateral movement of the fastener.

It’s important to note that screws are not included with the fasteners. When selecting screws for your project, consider the thickness of your wood stock, as this will determine the appropriate screw length. Always secure the screws snugly but avoid over-tightening to allow for necessary seasonal wood movement.
