I'm going to be doing a good bit of cabinetry and built-in shelving in a home we're renovating. For this, I'll be assembling frames using a kreg pocket jig, and for 18mm birch ply I'm expecting to use the Kreg 32mm No.8 Coarse Washer Head Screws. From what I can tell, you can get a bulk pack of these in the SML-C125-1200-INT pack for as low as £23 (I'm looking at KREG SML-C125-1200-INT 32mm No.8 Coarse Washer Head Screws 1200pk but if anyone has a line on better prices online elsewhere, I'd be very glad to know of it). For plinth / base construction, I'll be either using cut-offs from the 18mm ply or 2x4s. Same for cleats, probably just 2x4s. This requires a 63mm screw, and I've been struggling to find well-priced versions of these. I've noticed that Kreg makes a highly discounted decking screw which is mostly the same except that they are pan-head instead of washer head. What think ye about this being a budget-friendly substitute for for those overpriced 63mm coarse washer-head #8 screws?
