Re: Good Screw Sizes fo General Use
We use #10-32 and 1/4''-20 bolts (socket head preferable, hex head for 1/4''-20 also OK, phillips head is a no-no since they're basically designed to strip) for structural bolts. Trying to move more towards the former as the latter really is overkill for most stuff in FRC. Nylock nuts are standard.
After years of frustration, mismatched nuts, and accidental crossthreading, we will no longer purchase #10-24 on either team I mentor.
