    How does this incredible masterpiece of a video only have a couple hundred thousand views after 10 years? I'm ranking this as one of the most under-rated and highly educational videos that I've seen on interwebs. I followed Casey years ago and have been making my way through Van's video collection. I now feel like I've found the next level - the grand master -and now see my previously watched videos with a clean pair of eyes, and a 2:1 ratio.

    If anyone wants to avoid cam out then avoid Philips head screws. From what I've read they were designed to cam out to avoid over tightening. Use Robertson (square) or torx. I can hang my impact driver from the ceiling from a Robertson screw. That's not likely to happen with even the best fitting Philips.

    Interesting video, and good stuff for beginners. I too love plywood, though it sure seems to be getting expensive these days! I also like the driving power of the Robertson (square) head over Phillips, but few hardware stores carry the square head. The only thing I would have added about Phillip head drivers is that worn bits won't properly grab the screw either. Anyway, my 2 cents. Thanks for shooting and posting this video!

You don't have a riving knife on your table saw making it very dangerous for a kickback event, or a small piece of plywood to ride up over the blade pulling your hand into it. Philips bits by original design are made to cam out. They were used for metals. Their use in woodworking is an anachronism. Use GRK T-25 Torx screws. They almost never cam out.
