- Match the lead bore size to the smooth shaft measurement before driving the threaded portion
- Leave enough wall thickness around the gap so the gripping ridge engages firmly
- Step down slightly on softwoods to avoid tearing fibers while maintaining holding power
- Test your depth setting against scrap boards first to guarantee flush seating every time
