Re: Allen bolt sizes?
Technically those are not bolts. They are machine screws.
Difference? Well google says my understanding was wrong. I had thought the real difference between a screw and and a bolt was that a screw has threads the length of the shaft. But apparently is is simply down to use. A screw fixes into an internal thread whereas a bolt requires an external thread such as a nut into which to fasten.
