Cut nails are the original nail — cut from sheet metal — and remain the fastener of choice for traditional wood construction and historic restoration. JLHY's cut nails are produced using modern precision cutting machinery that reproduces the classic cut nail profile with consistent quality. The tapered, rectangular cross-section creates a wedge-shaped aperture in wood that self-keys and resists withdrawal with remarkable efficiency.

The holding power of a cut nail in hardwood typically outperforms a smooth shank wire nail of the same dimensions. The forged head also provides a more period-authentic appearance in visible applications. Standard specified for traditional timber framing, oak post-and-beam, and historic restoration.

Produced in mild steel (bright) and galvanised for exterior use in gauges from 3.0mm to 8.0mm and lengths from 25mm to 150mm. Custom configurations and bespoke head shapes for OEM and architectural projects. Contact our team for samples and technical guidance.
