Si vous percez des avant-trous, vos vis ne fendront pas le bois comme le font souvent les clous. Quand on assemble deux pièces de bois avec une vis, l'avant-trou de la première pièce sort au fût de la vis, et celui-ci reste libre dans cet avant-trou. L'avant-trou doit être assez petit pour que les filets mordent fermement dans le bois, mais pas trop, car autrement, la vis ne réunira pas les deux morceaux assez serrés. 3, record 2, French, - avant%2Dtrou
