My first machine was make with mapple plywood so I used #6x34' brass screws
 the sceews has to big .But it's hard to use smaller than that because they brake easy when they get in hard wood eaven predrill
On my second one  b-12 in birtch plywood I used #4 or 5 stailess steel screws (I will check it on my way home next week, am out of the city)
It's a stronger screw and and there are easy to stain.
