How do I choose the right size drill bit for a wall plug?

Choose wall plugs, screws and a drill bit of the same size – although you might like to use a smaller drill bit first to produce a pilot hole.

Do you use the same size drill bit as the screw?

If you are creating a pilot hole for a nail, the right drill bit is slightly smaller than the nail’s shank. If you are creating a pilot hole for a screw, the drill bit should be the same size as the body of the screw—not including the threads.

How do I choose the right bit for a screw?

For the layman that just wants to screw, look at your screw head. Find the shape that matches your pattern, work your way down from the largest size until the bit just fits. Do not make the mistake of choosing a bit that just fits, it may be too small and will slip causing damage to the screw head.

Should I drill a hole before screw?

It’s much easier to drill precise locations with a drill bit than the tip of a screw. Create a pilot hole before inserting the screws for a more reliably accurate screw location. When screwing through dense materials, such as hardwood and laminate.

How big in diameter should the pilot hole be drilled?

For most hardwoods, the pilot hole should be at least as large as the screw’s minor diameter. If the screw has deep threads, or the wood is very hard, the pilot hole should be another 1/64-in. larger than the minor diameter.

How deep should a pilot hole be?

Most people drill to the same depth as the screw or nail, but as I’ve mentioned above, it really depends on your material. If it’s a super fragile or expensive material, try drilling two test pilot holes in a scrap – one at the same depth as your fastener and another that’s just a hair longer.
