Dan, A few weeks ago Karen read an ad for a set of step drill bits. We can't remember where the sale was to go back and check them out. After reading your post they make a lot of sense now. The only step bits that I have is 1/8 to 3/8 for pocket screw holes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Rossi" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 4:48 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] to predrill or not for screws
I recently watched a video about building a book case. They discussed the proper way to screw the pieces together. The pilot hole through the first piece was the same diameter of the screw with threads. The pilot hole into the second piece was the diameter of the shank of the screw. So, the screw should pass freely through the first piece then grab into the second piece and the head will pull the first piece against the second piece. -- Blue skies.
