How to dig a hole for a specific screw? [solved]
Yesterday I combined pieces of furniture into a whole desk.
But how are the holes in furniture dug in the first place?

Are you referring to a pilot hole? You can use a drill and a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the bore of the screw and create a hole for the screw to use. The screw will still bite into the wood, but won't displace as much material, and the screw will follow the hole for a straighter drive. Using a pilot hole will reduce the chances of cracking the wood and mis-driving the screw.
And in some case, the holes might be counter-bored or countersunk, depending on what type of screws you're using. - Joe 12 years ago
