Re: Screw Size

[green-thumbs]

Odd size or obsolete fasteners are the rule…remember industry has now gone METRIC.
It is puzzling to find fasteners at hardware store made to inch are made in countries
that are metric standard. It is helpful to have a thread gage or test plate to verify
fasteners. Older taps and dies sometimes pretty cheap at garage sales can be useful
to freshen up threads. Threads and gears have evolved and left many orphans in
the progress to one international standard…which is yet to be achieved.
