Fastener Reference
Just a quick reference sheet as an attempt to encourage people to be a bit more consistent with the standard of fasteners they include in their assemblies.
Very handy for picking fasteners from large catalogues such as the Autodesk Inventor content center. Since this isn’t the 1930s the above standards are only relevant for metric threads.
Inventor
As a rule I exclusively use either SS or non-SS screws within any assembly. For some reason, the SS screws are black whilst mild steel appears shiny. Whatever. Because of this I usually end up using plain non-SS ones.
The Z designation on fasteners refers to the (not sure of the word so I’ll say) stamp type.
- Z = Posi
- H = Phillips
