Drill Bits

[pdub]

I've got a TV wall mount that says I need to drill a 7/32 hole.
I got a 3/16 drill bit and a 1/4 drill bit.
You think I gotta go out to ACE tonight before installing and get that exact 7/32 or will the 3/16 work?

What could go wrong?
It only a TV, hanging from a wall.

Goddamnit.

You are (hopefully) screwing into wood.
A slightly smaller hole shouldn't matter, as long as the screws are strong enough to do it.

Definitely screwing into wood studs.

Listen I finally found the tool needed to locate these two studs so I'm definitely screwing into them.

I really hope 1/32nd of an inch doesn't really matter to drilling these studs.

Depends on the type of wood and shank size of the screw.

Exactly.
Also, if they are those cheap ass Chinese screws, they won't make it past the paint!

Studs turned out to not be centered enough.
We are returning the mount kit.
I just wanted to mount into two studs.

Buy a good mount, that allows you to slide the TV side to side to center it.
