erm well.. a screw = a shag!... un ya bolt just after.. ;)


or


screws.. you use a screwdriver.. flat or cross head..

and a bolt.. you use a spanner/socket wrench.. allan key.. :)

[Tina]

How did he pass his theory? ;)

ha ha what Von said'

[Spire]

It aint got anything to do with the type of head. Its whether the thread runs all the way up the shaft or not. Bolt the thread runs up to the head on a screw it stops part way.

Anyone else got any sad bits of trivia they would like to share with us?

erm.. spire mate!!.. the bolt i just unscrewed from me neck.. erm... well could swear that the thread did not go all the length of it.... but when Jake me dog brings me head back... I'll have another look at the bolt.... :)

[Tina]

A bolt threads into a nut whereas a screw threads into the material to be fastened.

[Tina]

Bet that goes straight over his head! :)

Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less.


*i loves google*

I think you'll find that if a 'bolt' doesn't need a nut it's called a machine screw.

I believe screws are tapered and bolts are not?

[Spire]

Well google aint got it quite right then

[parapanfan]

This is from the Highway Code



108: Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less.
Laws RTA sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10 & 26

[von41]

........ are you sitting some sort of exam or summat ?

Ho!! and not all screws are tapered.. a "grub screw" is not... and some times it requires a nut ..(lock nut)..that is......:spin:

[Bikerchickett]

Well google aint got it quite right then

It was googled out of the Highway Code !

[parapanfan]

grub screw ( ′grəb ′skrü ) ( design engineering ) A headless screw with a slot at one end to receive a screwdriver

Not likely to have a nut, lock or otherwise.

para... (grub screw)... is a general term that i used.. to be specific it would no doubt come under the heading of.... "headless socket screw"

[parapanfan]

Typical male oriented subject this innit?

You could say it's a thread about screws and nuts.

And I think u'd get some pretty funny looks if you went to a parts shop/dealers and asked for some cylinder head machine screws or some 'big end' machine screws oh :yes:
