Machine Screw:
Machine screws, also sometimes referred to as machine bolts, are normally smaller than the average screw. They usually range in sizes up to ¾ of an inch (19.05 mm), but can still come in larger variations.
A screw is powered by the movement of the screw driver. It converts this rotational force (called torque) into up and down force. A screw’s power depends on how close together the threads are and how far away from the center of the screw force is applied. You can get more power by making the threads closer together.
General:
achine screws are often found in sizes of: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14—the larger the number, the larger the screw. Machine screws, but especially caps screws and bolts, can range from 1/4 inch up to 3 inches or more. A metal screw with a sharp point designed to attach two pieces of wood together. Wood screws are commonly available with flat, pan or oval-heads. Therefore a wood screw generally has a partially unthreaded shank below the head. Generally there are many other examples of screws including the grooves on a jar or soda bottle lids, the end of light bulbs, water faucets and hoses, bottle caps, some ink pens, gas tank caps on cars, and many others. As with all simple machines like the screw, they are designed to help make work easier to do.
