Great video and I’m so glad you used the term “imperial system”. I’ve talked to so many people who have no idea what what imperial is until it’s explained. Lol
@@TrainingHandsAcademy i’ve been watching some of your videos.. fantastic stuff..i actually thought i already subscribed to it.. glad I did.. keep up the great info!
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!🤗
Being an Immigrant to Québec, Canada (the french province), you showing both US/Can vs. EU (SI) measurements was just amazing. *clapping hands in respect*
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.
@@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!
@@TrainingHandsAcademy Can you please tell me what size self-centering bit I would need for a #6x5/8" flathead wood screw? They're for concealed hinges going into an MDF cabinet. Thank you for your time and help!
Thank you for this very informative video. I learned a lot. Your videos are excellent and I appreciate the professional presentations. Looks like my future projects will require more screwing -around than usual. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
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
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.
“Why because it has a big head, It can hold some pressure , but at the same time it has a flat enough profile that it’s not offensive” Yeah I’m gonna have to steal this quote my guy, entirely out of context of course 😉😬👌
Thanks for subscribing and watching. If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)
I love your videos and I would like to access such better tools at my carpentry workshop here in Uganda. How I wish you could guide me on how to get used tools at a better price. I just begun my small carpentry workshop which I would like to turn in an integrated youth and women Skilling centre at our home town in Busunga.
@ 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.
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?
it seems I'm locked into every Auto-language in CC there is but English. What do we do to alter this? Tried again in this video. It matters, as I have 3 different Language bases that watch this in our public school. At the present time it says we are Vietnamese (auto-generated) English. Want to watch as these are all very good. Just trying to make CC work for students.
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.
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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-37o2DWse0bY.html
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.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy thanks, I have this cheap furniture made of particle board that were attached using plastic anchors and screws. Can I just use flathead screws? Or would it fall apart?
@@Zheta26 Yes, a flat head screw should work well and if you can find a course thread screw... that will hold much better in particle board. Hope that helps.
