(Thomas G. Marshall) doth posteth:
I'm never quite sure what the best practices are for pre-drilling holes
for screws. snip
Rules? We're supppsed to have rules now? My rule is to not use
screws unless it's o something I plan to take apart again. On the few
occassions I do use screws, and pre-drill a hole, I just make sure the
bit is no larger than the body of the scew.
So just use a 1/16" bit for all pre-drilling?
