Summary[edit]

Description
English: What size drill point? A quick and easy way is to compare the barrel of the drill point (right) with the barrel of the screw -- that is, assume the corkscrew threads are not there -- and strive for the same barrel diameter. Here I am eyeballing them both. The drill point at right will work, although it is a tad thin; if the screw was much longer, the barrel should be as thick as the screw's barrel otherwise the screw will SQUEAK and have trouble going in. The idea of pre-drilling is that it reduces the likelihood that the wood will crack when the screw is drilled in. The idea is the screw's threads should grip the wood. Another tip: aligning the length of the point with the screw length can be helpful. This particular screw has a narrow head, useful for holding molding or floor boards.
