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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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 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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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 👍
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...
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.
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!
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.
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. :-)
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?
That foam roller screw is a such a good instructional tool. Well done!
That was amazing.
Honestly, I hope your channel gets big
I think it will.
I wish he was still making videos. His primers are absolutely top-notch.

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!
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.
The world needs to learn more of this. Thank you!
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.
You're a very clear presenter, thanks for the videos!
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

I love this channel! - Mechanical Engineering student
It is much better than a lecture in my university. It will remain in my head.
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!!!!!
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.
I like the big foam bolt! Keep it up, Adam!
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.
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!!
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.
U are an emerging star in india for engineers.
Nice video once again.
Very well explained! Thanks from Montreal, Canada!
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.
I love your teaching style and clarity. Great overview on screws.
Keep it up... Professionally done!! Understood foreign concepts easily.
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!
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

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
So clear and easy to understand. Thanks for making these videos!
what a great and enjoyable video! knew "most" of it anyway, but would still watch it again, love the sponge!
mastery of the basics is the key to the universe! great video! thank you so much.
First time watching this channel--This fellow is REALLY GOOD.
Thank you for noting that the Majority of the world uses metric!

You are a God send, my brother. Keep it Machine Tech.
Greeting's from India. Hey there Adman, the way you narrate/explain in depth is awesome... keep them coming.... Regards.
this honestly need more views. damnit you present the topic in a very interesting and concise way. love the cadence

Damn, I wish you still made videos. I just discovered you, and your simple yet detailed explainers are amazing.
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...
I might wanna quit my classes and watch his lectures every day there are so informative
Wow... really great video!
Can you make a video on go gauge and no go gauge
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!
Amazing work. Can you make a video for different angles use in different type of screws? It will be a great help. Thank you
You should do a series on how to properly run a lathe and mill. A manual lathe and mill.
Great and useful information in a very clear language. Thanks a lot. God bless you.
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 👍
Very nice and clear explanation
Amazing...I was looking for such an illustration.....
You are a wonderful teacher.
He's got some serious Bill Nye/Mike Rowe energy. I like it!
Yes, I learned something. Thanks!
Very easily explained,awesome! Thank you
Genius explanation. Just what I was looking for.
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...
ahhhhhh, threading. the thing that made me cry in the shop...
Very well presented, and informative video.
Great videos, wish u shoot some videos about valves also especially butterfly valves and seat rings
Great video. Tons of info delivered quickly and concise!
Super well done. Thanks for your hard work!
Wonderfull explanation about the threads.........
Terrific channel. Learned a ton of stuff...
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.
the quality of ur video is really good
Very good.
Could you also mention the metric size?

Can you please do a similar video for ACME thread, square thread, and buttress thread?
Exceptional clarity.
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.

we need lot more people like you
Cool that you're taking also about metric system! Cheers from Europe
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?
Screw this I'm going nuts 😉🤣
Great video, nice explanation of threads
Please keep making these types of videos
Thank you! Very informative and very well explained!
when i was a machinist i found out . that thrds 3 in and up was in a range with no standards. you just made them to fit. the fittings that was there.
Thaaaaaanks a lot 😍😍😍
you are very underrated for your efforts
super. easily understood.i am expecting more information from you
Excellent - thanks for making this.
