<VV> Mice and schrews

[Joel McGregor]

The real question is what are those things that have a hex head and a Phillips?  Some have machined threads and some don't.  Now what?  I guess I'm going to have to start hiring out all my work...
And what about the clutch head things that EMs and FCs have?  Some of them have machined threads and some don't if memory serves me.
What happens if you use a bolt where a screw goes?  I'll bet that is why those top covers are loosening up.

Smitty says, this is all very well and good.  WE are getting input of an
official variety that carries somewhat of duo-national weight.  This still
leaves a burning question of great importance.  If a screw is over 1/4 inch
but has no machined threads is it still a screw.  By some peoples theory, if
you screw it into a blind hole , it is a screw?  I have a box of 5/16
fasteners with hex heads on them. I always called them  bolts.  Lag Bolts.
But when I need one I screw it right into a blind hole.  Is it then a lag
screw?  I am becoming incapacitated with indecision..
