Lr32 pin question

[Troutbum86]

I just picked up the lr32 set because I am making cabinets. Is there a standard depth to drill for 5mm pin? Not sure if there is a industry standard. Ive used 1/4 in pins in the past, but first time with 5mm. Wasn't going to buy any pins till the cabinets were installed. Thanks

Hello

The standard 5mm pins are 8mm to the centre collar

I drill them between 8-11 mm deep, in 18mm (3/4") wood depending on whether I am using shelf pins or Euro-screw hinge plates.  I think it really doesn't matter so long as pins don't bottom out, and the hole doesn't come out the other side.

Thanks for the replies. Everything I was reading just said set router with a pin on the depth stop. I really didn't want to buy the pins yet because I'll lose them before I need them, I know myself. I was just going to reference my 1/4 pins I have, but remembered 'takes less time to ask a stupid question than it does to fix a stupid mistake.'
