Drill bit size and dry wall screws size for box building?
What size drill bit do you use to build your box? and how long are your dry wall screws? Do you use any other types of screws? Mainly, I just want to know what size drill bit do you use and do you have a certain brand, or which one is strongest. Mines keep breaking, maybe its the size, or its the quality. so yeah, help a brotha out.

Re: Drill bit size and dry wall screws size for box building?
What do you mean by drill bit? The one used to countersink, the one to predrill, or what?
I have a question in addition to Berny: is it best to use coarse screws or fine screws?

Re: Drill bit size and dry wall screws size for box building?
I do not use drywall screws on MDF. I use 1.5 inch #8 oval head sheet metal screws. I pre drill with a 1/8" drill bit then use a bit I purchased to drill ceremic tile to countersink the screw head. The ceremic bit is a lot harder and sharper than the normal countersink bit. Most boxes when properly cut can be assembled with a nailgun. Cuts must be 90 degrees though.
