Screw size when joining wood of different thicknesses

Does anyone know if there's a chart for screw sizes when joining different sized wood together?

Thanks Ken. I had seen the link you recommended but it only says that you have to experiment with screw sizes when trying to join two different sized pieces of wood. In some cases you set the jig for the thick piece and use a screw for the thin piece and you reverse that in other cases. I was hoping someone might have done this work before I start experimenting with different sized pieces and screw lengths. It would be nice to have a chart like the Kreg chart on screw sizes but the Kreg chart is only directed at screw lengths when using the same sized wood.

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
