About this deal

In the examples shown above, the M6 is a 6mm wide screw (at the threaded part, not the head) and the M8 is 8mm wide. Other Acronyms and Abbreviations used to Describe Screws Hex bolts – have a hexagonal shaped head and can have a full or partially threaded length, used with a tapped hole or interior nut thread. Unlike imperial callouts, the metric screw size callouts always start with the letter M followed by a number. This number is the screw diameter. Most manufacturers put both the metric and imperial size on the box of screws which is very helpful, however when purchasing online, many retailers do not. This is largely because the title of the product becomes too long and cumbersome, so something has to go. Whether you deal in old or new money, as it were, you still need to know what you are getting. This is the difference between the two and what you need to look for:

A coarse screw is a screw with a low number of threads along the screw. While a fine screw has a high number of threads. You’ll usually find the screw diameter in mm in the first column of any metric screw size chart 2. Screw Pitch ISO 965-4: Limits of sizes for hot-dip galvanized external screw threads to mate with internal screw threads tapped with tolerance position H or G after galvanizing We’ll be explaining each definition of these to help you read our metric screw size chart. 1. Screw DiameterTypical examples of uses for grub screws might include any situation where one object or component needs to clamp to another tightly via friction, but where protruding parts of the fastener would interfere with smooth functioning of the items in question. Grub screws for this purpose are especially widely used in architectural ironmongery, and are a very common feature found wherever door handles are attached to spindle shafts. Tables of the derived dimensions for screw diameters and pitches defined in ISO 261 are given in ISO 724. You can usually spot these with your eye, but you’ll definitely know when you try to fit one with another (we’ve all been there!).

As a handy coincidence, the Gauge (imperial) roughly equals the screw head size in millimetres. A 4 gauge screw will have a head that is approximately 4mm wide. The most obvious point of distinction between grub screws and other types of standard screws and bolts is that true grub screws tend not to feature a protruding head. Instead, they’re usually threaded right to the top, and are the same diameter all the way along their length, meaning that the grub screw can be fully driven into its hole to sit flush with (or even countersunk into, depending on the application) the workpiece. The design principles of ISO general-purpose metric screw threads ("M" series threads) are defined in international standard ISO 68-1. [2] Each thread is characterized by its major diameter, D ( D maj in the diagram), and its pitch, P. ISO metric threads consist of a symmetric V-shaped thread. In the plane of the thread axis, the flanks of the V have an angle of 60° to each other. The thread depth is 0.54125 × pitch. The outermost 1⁄ 8 and the innermost 1⁄ 4 of the height H of the V-shape are cut off from the profile.In most cases, it is also very handy to know the different parts that make up a screw and the types of head and thread available, for information on this see our parts of a screw project here. The M Rating or M Measurement for Screws and Bolts Slotted screws are fast becoming history and cross head screws are now the fashion but it must be remembered that a cross head screw can either be a Philips screw (top image below)or a pozidrive/supadrive screw (bottom image below). They both require a different type of driver which can be found below. This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. Please help improve it to make it understandable to non-experts, without removing the technical details. ( December 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
