What Drill Bit

Screws

Every screw type in one place. Pick the kind you're driving — wood, pocket-hole, or lag — for its sizing tool, its chart, and a page for every size.

Wood screwsPilot holes by gauge (#4–#14) — the finder, the full chart, and a page for every size. Pocket screwsScrew length and thread by material thickness — the selector and the chart. Lag screwsPilot holes by diameter and wood type, plus the shank clearance hole.

These are general guidance sizes cross-referenced from common woodworking sources. For structural, load-bearing, or manufacturer-specific work, follow the fastener manufacturer’s or an engineer’s specifications.
