Product Information

You can apply a penetrating lubricant to help reduce and remove any rust or corrosion present around the threads of the grub screw prior to starting The coarse pitch is the commonly used default pitch for a given diameter. In addition, one or two smaller fine pitches are defined, for use in applications where the height of the normal coarse pitch would be unsuitable (e.g. threads in thin-walled pipes). The terms coarse and fine have (in this context) no relation to the manufacturing quality of the thread. There isn’t a noticeable difference between machine and wood screw sizes. However, the difference is in the physical characteristics.

Insert the correct kind of drive for the type of grub screw in question, and make sure it is securely seated If you’re used to using the imperial screw sizes, reading screw sizes in mm might be confusing to you. ISO 965-5: Limits of sizes for internal screw threads to mate with hot-dip galvanized external screw threads with maximum size of tolerance position h before galvanizingThese are the basics to know when looking at screw sizes but to find out more about the thread of screws and other items you can look at Wikipedia. There’s a lot to learn if you’re interested! Metric Screw Sizes Explained

ISO 262:1998 ISO general purpose metric screw threads – Selected sizes for screws, bolts and nuts. International Organization for Standardization. 17 December 1998. It is always best to get the right type of screw for the job, so we have written a project specifically about this. Have a look here for our project on the different kinds of screw you can buy. 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.Rather than use a “Gauge” figure, the metric system uses the (major) diameter in millimetres. The length is also measured in millimetres and exactly the same as it is for the imperial system. If it won’t budge and needs to be drilled out, start by taking an awl or centre punch and using it with a hammer to make a small indentation in the visible end of the grub screw - this will help reduce the risk of the drill bit from slipping or wandering while you drill through the metal a b ISO 261:1998 ISO general purpose metric screw threads – General plan. International Organization for Standardization. 17 December 1998. Don’t worry if you don’t follow this as not many people know about these relationships, let alone use them. More about Screws
