(Kerry Montgomery) doth query?
So just use a 1/16" bit for all pre-drilling?

Are you asking? Or what? Using just one size bit might make sense
for you, but not for me. I might use screws with a body smaller, or
larger, than 1/16". How about pre-drilling holes for nails? Any
thoughts on that? Or furniture glides? I usually pre-drill for those,
for sure.

It's not hard, if you get your mind right.

I forget where I saw it, but some research was done that proved that
pre-drilling for wire nails (round-shanked nails) made the nails grip
more securely, (probably because the wood contacts the nail over 360
degrees of the nail's circumference, and not just on 2 sides where the
grain divides around the nail).
