Driving Wood Screws
When driving wood screws, a pilot hole is
recommended to make driving easier and
to prevent splitting the wood. As a general
rule, the pilot hole should have a diameter
of approximately 70% the size of the
screw diameter. Hardwood pilot holes
should have a diameter of approximately
90% the size of the screw diameter. The
depth of the pilot hole should be shorter
than the length of the screw by at least
one screw diameter. This allows the tip of
the screw to bite into the wood for extra
holding power.
Counterbore the top portion of the hole for
a free fit of the shank between the screw
head and the threads. When using flat head
screws, countersink the top of the hole to
allow the screw head to be driven flush
with the work surface. Use soap or wax
for easier screw insertion if necessary.
