    A SUPERB video, especially helpful in providing head measurements and downloads. The worst thing about Philips head screws is the tendency of the driver to cam out. If I ruled the world, only square-drive and Torx would be allowed...the only ones that can be driven back out without using downward pressure, which is the last thing you want when trying to REMOVE them!🤗

      @@TrainingHandsAcademy I would like to ask two questions if you don't mind. I am installing concealed cabinet hinges and would like to know what size self-centering bit I would need for #6x5/8" flat head wood screws and does it matter what type of 35mm Forstner bit blade style I use? I believe the cabinet is MDF but I could be wrong because it's laminated and I can't tell. I am putting new hinges on and oddly enough I can't remove the old broken hinges. It's like they're glued in place. The hinge screws only turn counter clock-wise but won't come out. Thank you for your time and help. All the best!

    I remember this music, it was played on Radio City Liverpool by a DJ, Norman Thomas really nice man. He used to play it every day , in the background as he did requests and notifications. My dad used to love it and said to me one day who is that? so i wrote a letter to Norman and asked him. A week later a letter came back. We ordered it at the local record store in Huyton Village, And they got it for us. My dad nearly wore a hole in it, he played it all the time. He passed away 3 years ago, but when i heard the music a few days ago my eyes streamed with tears as i remember him

    I’ve noticed that in the US you explicitly state the pitch for metric screws. It’s maybe because you are accustomed to do so for all other screws. Unless you need a special screw you use the default pitch (coarse) screw. So, M6 without any other number implies 1 mm pitch.

    @ 2:10 82 degrees? I'd love to know the rational behind this convention.
    I seems more natural to consider the axis running down the center of the screw, lengthwise, as the reference vector and then call the angle 41 degrees.

    Here in the UK Pozidrive is the most common type of screw. At the major stores that sell tools, building equipment etc pozidrive and torx (starhead) are the most common. Don't think I've seen philips screws being sold other than the ones that may be provided with flatpack furniture.

      The vast majority of the screws I showed in this video were made of steel and zinc coated... which helps prevent rust. However, stainless steel and galvanized screws would be better for outdoor use... like those premium wood screws I showed towards the end. Does that help Muhammad?

    @zmartkooky244 2 года назад

    Screw sizes is one of those unnecessarily complex things: Why gauge 4 is 3mm? why not gauge 3 = 3mm?? And why do we need threads per length if we already have the length??
    We should just use: shape/diameter/length/threads like this: *t/1.5/10/15* meaning: torx/1.5⌀/10mm/15 threads - that's easy and straightforward and doesn't require any memorization.

  • @johnmichael642
    @johnmichael642 9 месяцев назад

    I've been looking all around for an answer on my screw diameter question so I know that the # for the machine screw example you gave at 4:09 is not the GAUGE but the screw size which is based on major thread diameter, not gauge or AWG. A 6 gauge screw would be thicker than a 8 gauge screw. But the way screws are sized means that a #6 screw is thinner than a #8 screw. ruclips.net/video/37o2DWse0bY/видео.html

  • @tycox8704
    @tycox8704 Год назад

    The lesson is lacking. There’s no explanation on selecting a gauge. For example, if #8, #10, and #12 screws all have a 2-1/2 inch screw length option, which gauge should be used? I assume it depends on the weight of the joined materials and how few screws you want to use.
