Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For glass, thin laminate, or slim metal-look fronts, the T version with its shallow 6 mm depth is the safe choice where a standard EXPANDO would bottom out or blow through. Drill the pilot to spec and do not over-torque the M4 screw, or the expanding section can lose grip. Always do a test dowel in a scrap of your front material first.
Wear eye protection when drilling pilot holes in thin front material to prevent injury from cracking or ejected chips.
