Fantastic presentation, and all without an bunch of ahs, errs and long pauses. Keep em coming you guys are great. ..Thanks for sharing , Ken 79 year old retired guy, Marina CA
That foam roller screw is a such a good instructional tool. Well done!
That was amazing.
Early in the training course for aircraft mechanics that I began in 1964, a month of shop time was devoted to hand tools, metrology, and hardware. The instructor was first class, and the projects very instructive. The lessons learned served me well throughout my career. But today I learned a few things from this video. What a great advantage these videos, and all of the internet, give to technical students today. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, I hope your channel gets big
I think it will.
I wish he was still making videos. His primers are absolutely top-notch.
Hey man I just wanna tell you, I work as a house mechanic in a sugar factor in little old town. I'm glad I found your videos. There entertaining and I honestly learned something
At first I thought how that long piece of sponge gonna help me understand it better? Then you wrapped it around the cylinder and I instantly clicked like. You are the best in this field.
Mate, I am 63 and have finally decided to try and work out all the different treads and found your channel and this video an awesome start point, as commented below the foam tool was awesome. Have subscribed and will work my way through your video. Bloody well done, awesome
I liked this video a lot. I'm an apprentice inside machinist and I am only 3 1/2 months in. We are already doing practical projects on a lathe that involve turning threads. This video is down to earth, simple, and enhances what we have learned from out instructor. I'm going to recommend this to my class mates. I look forward to seeing more from you!
The nicest explanation you can find on TH-cam. Please keep doing things like that.
Sir, you are GOD. The quality of this video is astonishing.
You are a very talented communicator.
Thanks so much!
Regardless of the topic, this video is by far the most didactic piece of information I have found in years. Well done. Here you have a new subscriber!
Basic information, really well explained and very thorough . If I was an instructor, I would use this video for training you left very little room for questions, I applaud you.
One of the best, concise, explanations I've seen.
Why was it not explained like that at school 45 years ago? So simple yet my teachers made it sound so complicated that I gave up. Good work
Thank you so much. Fabulously explained rather than rattle-on to exaggerate a minor point. This is brilliant for young engineering students and apprentices. Wishing you the very best.
You're a natural teacher, your visual aide and drawings are excellent to illustrate your points, yes, I learned a lot in this video, thank you greatly for all your efforts you have put into this video.
Excellent video to help one understand the screw/threading technology. Very effective teaching style, with the graphics and props. I’m definitely going to track your future blogs.
Amazing explanation in depth of threads. Great Work
Nicely done. Makes me want to go out in the shop and thread something.
Keep up the great videos.
Best,
Tom
We all mean like to "thread" something. :D
OMG I have been trying to figure this out for 3 DAYS!!! you helped me understand it in a matter of minutes!!! I am soon-to-be female machinist ( still in school) PLEASE tell more about the different screw types!!!!!
I agree with many of the other comments, your presentation and conveyance of the information is very
well done. I've watch a couple of your other videos and think this is the most spot on of them all. It actually really pleases me to see someone of the younger generation taking an interest in this sort of thing. I have been in the mechanical trades for over 40 years and have always been passionate about the knowledge and skills, please keep up the good work.

Amazing video, thanks a lot from a geophysics PhD student who is putting together a high pressure experimental apparatus with absolutely no prior mechanical experience other than of course house chores. Cheers
Strange that when I searched for "multi start threads", this video was one of the top results... You should have mentioned that.. I'm just now figuring out what they are and could not for the life of me figure out why my trapezoidal nut didn't fit the screw with the exact same pitch and diameter.
If I can get to it, I would really like to make a follow-up video on multiple start threads and different thread forms.
Extremely well done presentation
It is much better than a lecture in my university. It will remain in my head.
Thank you so much for a very well explained video on the basics of a screw thread. As someone who is mechanically challenged, I enjoy hearing basic information on subjects that many people take for granted. This provides me with a firm foundation of knowledge upon which to build. Again, thanks. Great video.
You are amazing. This video was amazing. You are a natural educator. And you probably just saved my whole entire life! My superhero for today. Thank you for this video.
Greeting's from India. Hey there Adman, the way you narrate/explain in depth is awesome... keep them coming.... Regards.
your videos are much much better than other online videos and easy to understand. i am lucky i found this channel. please keep them coming as this is wonderful platform for us mechanical engineers. amazing work.
I've watched a lot of educational videos and this is one of the best presentations I've seen, well done.
Totally learned some things. Knew a huge percentage of it, but you laid it out extra logical and covered all the major bases, so whether expert or neophyte, it was fun to learn or review. Thank you.
The world needs to learn more of this. Thank you!
Can’t resist telling you this cuz you’re gonna laugh. I had a question and You Tube sent me your direction. Well, didn’t get my answer (yet) but I couldn’t stop watching. You are an excellent communicator and the subject was fascinating and understandable. Now for the humorous part - I’m a 71 yr old female that asked the question, - is more thread on a screw more secure? I’m holding two metal wood screws here and needed the one with the best hold. While one has less threads the “blade of the thread is sharper and appears slightly bigger. No worries, I’ll find the answer, I think, but thought you’d get a laugh from a older woman. Think I’ll be watching you again though!
Great video! Very helpful. About to purchase a caliper and pitch gauge so I can find the right screw for the job today, and for the rest of my life. Thanks so much!!
this honestly need more views. damnit you present the topic in a very interesting and concise way. love the cadence
You're a very clear presenter, thanks for the videos!
I might wanna quit my classes and watch his lectures every day there are so informative
Excellent videos, easy to understand for all levels of knowledge. Hope you continue with your great quality as i have already see all yor videos in one sit; for someone in a mechanical maintenance area this is quite satisfactory to watch. P.S. you deserve much more subscribers.
I love this channel! - Mechanical Engineering student
Thank you for the great video! Your other videos are great too. Im thankful that you explain these detailed technical topics so well. They are the foundation of so many other things and many professionals don't realize that someone with no training has no clue about the fundamentals. Thanks for this. Hope to see more from you!
I like the big foam bolt! Keep it up, Adam!
Great work on this and all of your videos. Your delivery of the content is very well done. In this video, I am more impressed by what was left out. Threads and thread geometry can get very overwhelming for the layman. You left enough description in to keep it interesting and enough out to keep it from getting technical or boring. Good work!
Keep it up... Professionally done!! Understood foreign concepts easily.
Wow. I learned a LOT! Thanks! I always thought that screw vs bolt was machine threads vs cutting their own threads, like a wood screw. But as soon as I remove a nut from a bolt and thread it into a tapped hole- it becomes a screw! Cool! I always thought that UNF was called SAE threads and UNC was just referred to as standard US threads. Thanks so much!! What a cool channel.
First time watching this channel--This fellow is REALLY GOOD.
Very well done video. I have hand chased wood threads on a lathe and use a threading jig to cut wood threads for boxes so found this interesting.
what a great and enjoyable video! knew "most" of it anyway, but would still watch it again, love the sponge!
Damn, I wish you still made videos. I just discovered you, and your simple yet detailed explainers are amazing.
Really nice very well shared educational value of what is a thread and what does he call-out mean and much more here. We are two guys always learning Lance & Patrick.
Thank you for noting that the Majority of the world uses metric!

Very well explained! Thanks from Montreal, Canada!
I love your teaching style and clarity. Great overview on screws.
You are a God send, my brother. Keep it Machine Tech.
U are an emerging star in india for engineers.
Nice video once again.
EXCELLENT communication. SUPERB presentation! So very well done, young man.
Adam, thanks for your clear lesson, inches are a bit hard for we europeans, newertheless they are so important, as you know all the electronics works on inches, bores on printed circuit boards are drilled at 1/10 or 1/20 inche-pitch . . . Even water pipes ( in Italy ) are sized and also threated in inches, even in a different mode, called here "GAS - inches" ( not WITHWORT ) . . . Before your lesson i didn't understand so much inches-threading , but now, with your help, all is so much easy . . . Thank you very much
Can you do a video on bolt identification, and the purpose for each grade of bolt? My boys love your channel, and I like how you explain these topics so well.
As an engineer with 7 years of experience, I can say that I have never ever come across a specification for the class of threads being used, like you said. I really think that it comes in use only, when you are making precision machines and measurement equipment, as in the case of the micrometer.
Great explanation, I'm always dismayed when a coworker doesn't understand the differences in threads. I will be directing them to this video as a primer.
man you need to keep doing this. You are good at it.
i hope there is part 2 video for some details like helix angle and etc...
Well presented, very educational, good use of time.
Your channel is fantastic. Thanks from the UK.
Wonderfull explanation about the threads.........
So clear and easy to understand. Thanks for making these videos!
He's got some serious Bill Nye/Mike Rowe energy. I like it!
mastery of the basics is the key to the universe! great video! thank you so much.
Very nice and clear explanation
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm a mechanical engineering student and this helped me tremendously!! Keep up the good work. You have one more subscriber now ;)
Wow... really great video!
Can you make a video on go gauge and no go gauge
You are a wonderful teacher.
very well done and informative video...
a bit of confusion that I have not been able to find the answer to yet... are SAE threads measured from peak to peak, from valley to valley or from peak to valley?.... I have a large bolt that when the threads are measured peak to peak, It would seem to have 4 threads per inch, but when measured at the valleys, I only get 3 threads per inch.... so would this be a 3tpi, 3.5tpi or a 4tpi bolt?... I would think the measurement should be started at a valley, and if it ends on a peak, this would be a full tooth count, but if the measurement ended in a valley, it would designate a half thread... in the case of my bolt, I believe it to be a 3.5tpi, but before setting up to cut one like it, I would like to know where to start... thanks
The fact that this is on TH-cam is insane
ahhhhhh, threading. the thing that made me cry in the shop...
Can you please do a similar video for ACME thread, square thread, and buttress thread?
Very easily explained,awesome! Thank you
Great video! When I was first learning about screw threads I started out NOT assuming there was only one helix but apparently there is always only one helix, at least for main-stream regular screws/bolts/rods. I would expect that single helix is almost always better and that's why it is that is why you vertually never see anything else. :-)
We had a great old time mechanic who had to work on some old made in England machines. At that time believe England had their own thread standard before switching over to metric system. Old guy always called them bastard threads. Have used both SAE & metric boots & nuts & prefer the SAE.
Amazing...I was looking for such an illustration.....
Exceptional clarity.
Enjoy all your videos. I over tighten the drain plug of my car, now the drain plug is spinning in the aluminum oil pan and won't get out. Do you know how to get it out?
another great video dude thanks. would you be able to explain in another video about bolt tensile strength and how to determine the marking on the heads of the bolts . thanks again man 👍
Great and useful information in a very clear language. Thanks a lot. God bless you.
Couldn't be any better literally awsome👍👍👍
Terrific channel. Learned a ton of stuff...
Your Channel is realy good!!! Keep up the good work
From a metric guy😀👍
the quality of ur video is really good
You should do a series on how to properly run a lathe and mill. A manual lathe and mill.
Amazing work. Can you make a video for different angles use in different type of screws? It will be a great help. Thank you
Adam, please, can i ask you if - over the three threads classes you mentioned ( 1 = loose / 2 = general purpose / 3 = tight ) - there are any others ? Thank you again for your helpfull lessons, i saved a couple of your videos in my tablet and see them again and again to fix in my mind the names of the taps ( taper, bottom, gun . . . ) and other usefull tips, many of them not so common in Europe . . .
Class 5 is for an interference fit, class 4 used to be essentially what class 3 is but is now pretty much obsolete.
This video made my wife divorce me then my kids started to hate me for trying to teach them this.
Very well presented, and informative video.
Cool that you're taking also about metric system! Cheers from Europe
Hello, i have some question on the bolt part
1. How to judge how many nut can we put on the bolt?
2. How to judge the bolt should put on top surface or below surface?
Shun Jian Lee it will have to be from drawing specifications to where it goes, and as for how many it can fit it depends on the length of the bolt and the thickness of the nut you're using
I don't know if their standard name is screw threads, but such threads are more commonly found on bolts. No matter if they go through a hole and are fastened with a die, or screw directly inside the hole. Here in Europe, screws are only the tapered (conic) things used with wood and concrete...
Super well done. Thanks for your hard work!
we need lot more people like you
Beautifully Explained. Good job. 👍
Yes, I learned something. Thanks!
Great videos, wish u shoot some videos about valves also especially butterfly valves and seat rings
