FAQ
Q: What hole size do I need for M5 Chicago screws?
A: Drill a 5.5mm hole in the leather or material for M5 Chicago screws. The barrel slides through the hole; the male screw threads into the barrel from the other side.
Q: How do I choose the right barrel length?
A: Measure the total thickness of all materials being bound. The barrel length should equal the material thickness. For example, 4mm leather + 3mm leather = 7mm total; choose a 7–8mm barrel length.
