I just spoke to the manager of the maintenance facility. Conclusions:

1) Torque plays no role in the clutch disengaging. Depth-based only.


Say what?

You got a piece of very soft pine, and a piece of oak. You take a 3"
Robertson deck screw. (I use Robertson because it assumes the square head
will stay engaged.)

You set the clutch at four on a scale of one low, ten high.

You mean to tell me that when the drill encounters the progressively greater
resistance and the clutch kicks out, that both screws will have been driven
to equal depth?

I don't think so, Tim.
