I checked around but didn't see this specific question.
So, if you might kindly indulge me....
I was making some cabinets to go under my one bench.
3/4" plywood for the ends and sides and 1/2" for the top, bottom and back.
Because I needed quick and functional and not fine craftsmanship, I just did butt joints with no glue.
I set the drill bit to 3/4 because I thought you drilled the thicker piece.
Tried the 1-1/4" screws and the tip came out.
1" didn't hold well.
I wouldn't consider these joints to be very strong.
Any ideas where I messed up, please?
Thank you.
