TNX all for the advise. I have to admit I have a million more questions. But to not rush into more than I can absorb in a short time let me ask just one more. Is it possible to know how much force a common screw thread (given a common typeand construction) will take before it will break? I'm not talking about the shank of the bolt I'm talking about the thread holding power itself. I'm trying to decide what thread size I need for a given application. |
