Very Nicely Done , It's as if my machinery handbook came to life with a quaint song playing in the background. P.S. It's much more than 5 minutes with the pauses.

Here after are some additional information about Metric system To find the drill size for hole that will be taped you just subtract the thread pitch. Exemple: M8 x 1.25 tap would need a 6.75 mm drill bit (8-1.25= 6.75) Also every screw or nut revolution will make it progress 1.25mm Also for small metric size you can find the wrench size you need by multiply the pitch by 10 Exemple: M3 x 0.5 would be a 5mm wrench (0.5 x 10 = 5 ) and 2.5mm drill size M4 x 0.7 would be a 7mm wrench and 3.3mm drill size M5 x 0.8 would be a 8 mm wrench and 4.2mm drill size M6 x 1.0 would be a 10mm wrench and 5mm drill size M8 x 1.25 would be a 13mm wrench

Re: "you can find the wrench size you need by multiply the pitch by 10" That's not exactly true... It usually works but, for example, a M8 x 1.2 bolt or nut made to the old J.I.S (Japanese Industrial Standard) will use a 12mm wrench not a 13mm wrench. A lot of the JIS standards were changed in 1985 to match the ISO and DIN standards but I don't remember if this is one of them.

I've never seen metric drills on consumer market in US. Always fractional inch, decimal inch, wire size or letter size. I'm pretty sure I saw a few metric drills here and there working at Caterpillar, but mostly I recall decimal inch even though the prints were all metric. I've also seen odd hex sizes like 16mm hex on a 10mm bolt, 14 or 12 on an 8mm bolt, and that's not the special reduced size hex for clearance. Also 18 or 19 hex on a 12mm bolt. Mostly I see the odd hex sizes on Chinese stuff, but I've seen the 16mm head on 10mm Cat bolts with "CAT" logo on the head (not cheap China stuff).

Excellent video. I've spent almost thirty years operating manual lathes, and have cut many different types of threads. There's one thread type that I've cut that you don't mention: Trapezoidal thread, similar to Acme, but with all metric dimensions. Note to newbies: The differences between thread types are pretty obvious when they are drawn on paper or computer graphics, but not always so obvious when you are looking at a machine part, especially if it is worn. Trivia: If you ever encounter an oddball thread that mixes an imperial diameter with a metric pitch, or vice versa, it was probably made in Italy. (It ain't stupid if it works...)

The WHITWORTH thread of huge historical significance because it marked the introduction of standard thread forms by Joseph Whitworth. Although most people take standard threadforms and other manufacturing standardisation for granted, Whitworth's standard thread and his other standardisation ideas brought a massive step forward in manufacturing efficiency from which we still benefit hugely today. Although fallen from use for general engineering, most KZreadrs, and many other people, use Whitworth threads every day since 1/4" Whitworth is used for the tripod mounting thread on most still and small video cameras and 3/8" Whitworth on large video cameras. The Whitworth thread form is used for British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads, now renamed ISO R and ISO G.

@DaveEtchells

Ай бұрын

That’s fascinating, I’ve been a photo hobbyist for 50+ years, and always assumed that tripod threads were just SAE. A standard 1/4-20 bolt mates fine with the standard camera socket. I kind of wonder why they didn’t just make them SAE at some point, are there some situations where they wouldn’t mate, or do they only mate due to over-generous tolerances?

@jimf671

Ай бұрын

These fasteners are intended for items that are finger tight and they need to be very easy to align and engage by unskilled users. For those reasons, the tolerance band can be large since a finely fitted high strength thread is not required. That wide tolerance band means that on most occasions both the 1/4 and 3/8 versions fit together regardless of which standard is used. However, since the Whitworth will have a deeper thread because of its narrower angle there can be interference. Probably more likely when fitting UNC screw into a Whitworth hole. A good reason to be extremely careful when mounting expensive, particularly classic, cameras onto low-cost mounts made recently in workshops of unknown origin. Personally, I feel it is worth pressing home the point about Whitworth for cameras because it is just so cool keeping that important piece of 180 year old engineering history alive in every camera body and mount.

As a purveyor of random knowledge, this video was highly satisfying. Immediately saved as a resource for later. Thanks!

Thank You! The best descriptions I have ever seen regarding threads. Anyone getting involved with machining or mechanics should watch this and take note.

i watched the entire video without even having particular interest in threads... just becasue the video was done so well.

Great video! My first Machinery Handbook I purchased was used. Was the 20th edition 4th issue printed in 1978 and I've still have it. Long before we had Cad system in the shop along with all kinds of new tech that was amazing to us old timers. Cleveland MoMax cobalt was the good stuff back then. Finally convinced the owner to puchase carbide inserts. He was blown away by the time we saved him. Now you talk about a old school machinist he was the OG.

A day class's worth of info. Excellent!

I have no dealings with these items, so I have no idea what prompted me to watch this vid- but I'm glad I did. The graphics are superb, and the content was an education: I blush to admit I thought threaded things were much of a muchness. Now I know better. The complexity of their screwy anatomy has made my brain hurt (but in a good way) and henceforth I'll accord these humble fixings the respect they deserve. Thanks.

Gave the pause function a workout, and saved vid too much cool info to absorb. Comments added even more insight/info. Thanks to all!

Thank you for the information! Such content I've never had before. Now I know why screws are often so different.

Excellent vid with great animaton. One caveat for the newbies out there. Mass produced capscrews/bolts and nuts have ROLLED threads which have zero stress points at the rounded root and crest. This makes them stronger than MACHINED threads which have sharp edges at the root and crest. These sharp edges are stress prone and thus make machined capscrews/bolts and nuts weaker. ALWAYS use fasteners with rolled threads whenever possible, especially in high load and/or vibration prone areas.

It's 0522 and I've already learned something today. Fantastic video! Thank you.

Quite possibly my best time investment in KZread to-date. Outstanding video, and the lack of voices or crap music was a pleasant change. Thanks for the education!

I did my time as a Fitter Machinist and Tool maker, we used Form Threads on most of our Specialised Machines. Our form threads were Pitch and Angle independent of any known threads. Each Machine we sent out had a unique array of Form Threads in Critical Areas. The idea being no other company could Economically Repair our machines, as no off the shelf threads would fit. In other words we made our own nuts and bolts. We were therefore Guaranteed the Maintenance Contract for the life of our Machines, some of which were still operating for more than thirty years.
