1 3 8 Inch Vs 1 1 2 Inch
1 2 glass is the typical choice for interior decorators and units requiring tall glass.
1 3 8 inch vs 1 1 2 inch. So if you re male chances are your thumbnails would be about 1 2 inch wide or perhaps a tad more for most females i g guess at them being closer to 3 8 wide. Most common diyers use a 3 8 drill. It was still 200 but was the full 1 4 3 8 and 1 2 inch set with all the 6 and 12 point sockets always use a 6 point socket for tough bolts metric and sae. My thumbnails are just over 1 2 inch wide.
But that is unusually wide for a female. Hardwood flooring materials are available in a range of thicknesses but solid hardwood flooring generally ranges between 5 16 to 3 4 inch thick. If you are working with wood you can get spade bits that are available in larger sizes. It is thicker heavier and gives off an overall feeling of strength.
Most 3 8 drill bit sets only go up to a 1 2 with a reduced 3 8 shank. 1 2 plate 550 3 minutes 3 8 plate 550 5 minutes 1 4 plate 550 7 minutes since one can get a cordierite kiln shelf that can do 7 minute bakes for around 40 that pretty much rules out the value of 1 4 plate. A driver with a 1 4 inch or 3 8 inch bit can be the better choice for smaller screws. Overall i believe 3 8 thick glass is the right choice in most scenarios.
One thing that do it yourselfers should consider is the difference in manageability between 1 2 inch and 1 4 inch cement board. It is also the most expensive per square foot. On the other hand 1 2 inch board can be a real bear to cut and manage at the job site. As a result most woodworkers who use routers end up with a collection of bits containing both 1 2 inch and 1 4 inch shanks.
A 1 2 inch impact driver or an impact wrench may actually deliver too much torque that the screws or bolts are quickly stripped or worse snapped. I was pretty bummed that it was all made in china. The advantages of 1 2 inch shank bits don t always apply or they are negligible and sometimes 1 2 inch shanks aren t even available. For example 1 4 inch board weighs less is easier to affix to the substrate with either screws or nails and is easier to cut.
It has plenty of power and can use up to a 3 4 drill bit on softer materials with a reduced 3 8 shank.
