2. Pocket-hole joinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket-hole_joinery

   Some woodworkers lay out their project before drilling their pocket holes and mark the face of the board that they want to drill to ensure the hole is in the correct location. Most pocket joints are made by screwing into the face or the edge of the board rather than the end grain because the screw will grab better.

6. Brace (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brace_(tool)

   A brace is a hand tool used with a bit (drill bit or auger) to drill holes, usually in wood. Pressure is applied to the top while the handle is rotated. If the bit's lead and cutting spurs are both in good working order, the user should not have to apply any pressure other than for balance: the lead will pull the bit through the wood.

7. Pilot hole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_hole

   For common wood screws, the pilot providing clearance for the core of the screw may be followed by a larger bit to shallower depth to provide clearance for the larger, unthreaded shank of the screw. For standard wood screws, special pilot drill bits are manufactured to produce the correct hole profile in a single operation, rather than needing ...
