What does M mean in screw sizes?
M = This designates the fastener is
a metric size
. 10 = The nominal diameter in millimeters. 1.0 = The thread pitch, or distance between threads, in millimeters. 20 = The fastener’s length, in millimeters.
What size is M2 screw?
The “M” designation for metric screws indicates the outer diameter of the screw in millimetres, so for an M2 screw, the outer diameter is
2mm
. However, in practice the actual diameter might be between 1.9mm-2mm due to manufacturing tolerances.

What does M8 1.25 mean?
For metric fasteners, you will see a M8 x 1.25 or an M8 x 1. For thread pitch, the distance between two points is the second number meaning the higher the number the fewer threads there are. This means the M8 x 1.25 is
the coarse threading
and the M8 x 1 is the fine thread.

How many MM is a #10 screw?
10-32 Threads
The number “10” is a size designator with no numerical meaning. The number “32” refers to 32 threads per inch. You can identify a 10-32 screw by measuring the diameter at exactly 3/16′′ (
4.76 mm
).

What size is a #12 screw?
The diameters listed in the chart below are in fractions of an inch, so the #12 is
just shy of 1/4 inch
. A more detailed table with thread count can be found below, along with tap drill sizes. Detailed screw sizes charts.
Is a #8 screw the same as M8?
Well, quick answer is
no. They are not the same and they are not interchangeable
, although they can work under certain circumstances. The most important part is understanding the meaning of M8 and 5/16 to refer to the size of a metric screw or bolt, so then we can see why they aren’t the same thing!

Their size is described as
diameter, number of threads per inch
(if used with a nut or in a threaded hole), and length in inches. … In all cases, the larger the number, the larger the size. Consequently a #8 screw is larger than a #4 screw, just as a 3 inch bolt is larger than a 2 inch bolt.
What size is a 5/16 screw?
| Size Major Thread Diameter* | Decimal Nearest Fractional Measurement | #16 .268′′ 17/64′′ | #18 .294′′ 19/64′′ | #20 .320′′ 5/16′′ |
