* Step Drills with extra long pilot lengths are not guaranteed against breakage.
** Production Screw Depth (for Production or Sheet Rock screws)
To find this dimension, subtract the thickness of the top piece of wood from the length of the screw.
*** All shank diameters (F) are the same size as the (A) drill diameter.
