A wood screw is used to fasten equipment to a wood base.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only with adhesives
• D. Not allowed

Answer: (B)

Wood screws are designed to fasten parts to wood because they cut their own threads in the wood fibers as they’re driven, pulling the equipment firmly against the wooden base. This creates a strong, removable mechanical connection that holds securely without needing adhesives. When attaching to wood, you’ll usually drill a small pilot hole first to prevent splitting and to help the screw bite cleanly; the pilot size depends on the screw diameter and the wood type. Adhesives aren’t required for a wood-to-wood attachment, and saying it’s not allowed goes against standard practice. If the base is wood, a wood screw is the appropriate choice for securing equipment.
