Just had a SS screw (3.5 x 20mm) break on me. Drilled pilot hole, into oak. Pain in the neck getting the stub out. Had to drill round it and will have to fill. The way this project is I can't just move the holes anywhere else.
So I don't want this to happen again. It felt a bit tight, but not that much. I was outside, so not much above freezing.
Are SS screws more brittle than ordinary?
