Possible variation in drill diameters
The above chart gives the standard plug and drill size recommendations in general use. However, for any given plug, a combination of the smallest screw size in a soft substrate or the largest screw size in a hard substrate would require a change in drill sizes:
i.e. Brown Plug with a No.10 screw in soft block would require a 6.5mm or even a 6.0mm drill bit
Brown Plug with a No.12 screw in concrete would require an 8.0mm drill bit
