I think the ones that I hate the most are the "jack of all trades, master of none" -- the ones that work with slotted, phillips and square and all cam out.

An interesting walk-thru https://www.quickscrews.com/making-quickscrew It's my understanding that most screws nowadays (at least the ones I use) have "rolled thread" and not a "cut thread". This results in the shank not being significantly larger than the core of the threads. This always used to be a problem because you needed one size bit for the shank and a smaller one for the threads when drilling pilot holes (or a more expensive tapered bit) More than you ever wanted to know about screws: https://www.mcfeelys.com/guide-to-woodworking-screws

I just ordered this set of screw drivers and picks, I have a couple black powder revolvers and I really need to get into the guts and clean em up really good. Regular screw drivers will mess up the screws and finish, these Grace Drivers are hollow ground, made for guns, once I get em in my hands, and use them I'll follow this up with a review. These picks will come in handy too.

I got a vintage Wards hand plane for Christmas, found in Cottonwood AZ. All the parts seem to be there (badly painted/finished, but fixable). The one piece that I'd really like to replace is the machine screw for the front handle (but if I find the handle screw, I betcha I can find the tote screw too). The machine screws are #10, 20 tpi; that second value is the problem. I checked local Ace Hware, and it's definitely #10 (smaller than 1/4, Not metric; fits into #10 sockets for about one turn--24 and 32 tpi sockets). I did find a 1/4-20 bolt to confirm my threads are 20 tpi, and I checked some wood web sites: no go. Suggestions?

I have a Jet mini with most of the accessories. I had never used the screw pictured until yesterday. I glued some scrap together and made a bowl. When I used the screw, it didn't screw on straight and true with the wood, even though I had a drill press hole that was square to the surface. How far do you screw it in, all the way to the collar? How do you do it?
