I plan to build my cabinets using pocket hole screws (if I can ever get my thumb out of this splint... :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead
. The screw length charts, like the one at McFeely's are very helpful, but don't address screw gauge.

A few questions:
- What screw gauge do you use for assembling cabinets made of 3/4" plywood? #8 seems the logical size, but I wonder if #6 would be sufficient.
- Same question, but for 3/4" face frames
- The Kreg kit came with some #7 pocket hole screws, any advantage in using those?
- McFeely's has a #8 Super-Eight pocket hole screw that seems to a "universal" screw for everything related to cabinetry. Has anyone used these?
- Same question, but for the longer PocketMax screws to join 2x4 material.
- Any preference for Kreg vs. McFeely's?
- The K3 kit came with a single face clamp. I also got one of those bench clamps from Rockler when they were on sale, but I'd have to build some sort of fixture for it. Which clamps (face, right angle) do you use most often, and how many do I need?
