what screw would one use to fasten 1" wood to 2" wood?
Tags:
I would probably go with the 1.5"
James,
For this application you will want to set everything up for 1" and then use your 1 1/2" screw. If you have any other questions please let us know.
I have been pondering on this for a while now.....actually got into a short discussion about the HD, now I have been told it will be good enough to use my standard Kreg Jig. Now the question is what size screws. I am attaching 5/4 soft maple to 5 1/2" table legs,also soft maple. These will be the top rails on an open table, almost like a work table, that is housing a counter top that weighs approximately 90 lbs. There will also be a 6 burner gas stove mounted in the counter top. The counter top is 2" douglas fir and is actually some sort of self supporting flooring that my boss was given. I am planning to go into the legs as well as the counter top.Suggestions? I know it needs to be something bigger than the 1 1/2" screws that I use to put cornhole boards together.....LOL.
Tim,
for attaching 5/4 soft maple to 5 1/2" table legs,
I'd use the 2-1/2" long screws.
I want deep penetration of the screw that goes into the base material, I'm attaching the member to, thus the reason for the 2-1/2" screws.
Thanks Ken.....you are a solid resource and I appreciate the quick response. I will post pics as I make progress.
Tim,
Thanks for your thank you, and
timely reply.
Happy building.

I saw a video somewhere about this very question. It showed how to join two different thicknesses of wood and how to decide what screw you needed. I have searched online for it and cannot find it. Does anyone know where that is?
I'm using the Kreg jig and fastening two 3/4" red oak boards to make a table top. I assume I will need a fine thread screw but I'm unsure on the screw size. Can someone help me one please? Thanks for your time.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
