Best screws for attaching 1-1/2" oak ballisters to oak ?
I need to attach 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square oak ballisters to the outside of a
1-1/2" x 12" oak stringer (interior open-riser stairs). I'll use a Fuller drill/countersink to drill the ballisters, predrill the stringer, and use a Fuller plug cutter for plugs to hide the screws. I'm looking at the #10 (or #12) x 2-1/2" FSL screws from McFeely's (sq drive). Are these the best screws for the job (one of the highest torque values to prevent snapping)? Would #12 be better than the #10's in this case? Thanks for any advice, -Lance |
