A common guideline for choosing bolt diameter is to ensure it is 1.5 to 2.5 times, or up to three times, the thickness of the thinner material being bolted.

This rule ensures that the bolt can adequately withstand the stresses applied to the joint and prevents failure due to shearing or pullout.

For instance, when bolting together two pieces of 1/8" thick material, a 1/4" diameter bolt is often a suitable choice.

Similarly, for 1/4" thick material, a 3/8" or 1/2" bolt may be necessary to provide sufficient strength and security.
