How to select the correct screw type
Selecting the correct screw for the project or job you are working on is important -
it’s so much more than just selecting any old screw and hoping for the best. Here's
what you do.
First, select the correct screw length.
The screw length you use will very much
depend on the thickness of the workpiece you are working on. Before you do
anything, be sure you know exactly what material thickness you will be working
with.
The table tells you exactly what screw length to use in relation to the material
thickness you are working with...
