I am building a large table and want to reinforce the legs/aprons with metal
corner braces (there isn't room for wood).

They all show attaching to the legs with hanger bolts. That seems like a
lot of trouble; why not just use screws? I will never (hopefully) be taking
it apart, which seems to be the only reason for the hanger bolts.

But, it is my first big table and maybe there is a good reason I am not
seeing. Thanks.

Hanger bolts *are* big fat wood screws, but with machine threads on the
exposed end, so you can secure the corner brace with a big fat washer
and nut instead of having to dog a screw head all the way down. They're
just easier to deal with. As far as *never (hopefully)* having to take
it apart: If it turns out you *do* have to take it apart, hanger bolts
make it trivial.
