Best take them out and do it agin I think. Don't want standards slipping eh? PS, what length are those screws ? I'll try and do better on the bit underneath! 41mm..'coz they were CHEAP in Lidl. Got boxes of 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 May not be that critical, but my Senco does not like screws longer than 50mm, unless you remove the appropriate limiter ... then it is OK. Mine is a 14V DS202, and is fine. So if yours is 18V it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've slowly come round to the @Nickfromwales idea that more is better and screws are cheap. I'm doing 100mm centres now. Can always add more!

No that’s the centres for ordinary boards - you’re using MR board and it’s 87.5mm centres unless you use screws longer than 40mm where you can go to 112.5mm.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Parkside seems to have every trade covered, if it works for you thats great. @PeterW @nod I am fixing 11mm OSB and wondering what size centres you recommend. The Senco 18V is great you just need a strong arm, no jams yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
