What is a LG screw?
Also commonly known as lag bolts, lag screws are some of the toughest fasteners. These extremely sturdy fasteners are usually used to connect heavy lumber or other heavy materials that are bearing an intense load. Normal wood screws thread as they enter the wood, where lag screws require a hole to be drilled first.
What do screw sizes mean?
Screw sizes are designated by a number that indicates the diameter and the length of the screw in inches (Table 10-2). The smallest diameter screw is 0, and the largest commonly available is 24. For bench work, the most useful sizes are 4 through 12. Of those sizes, 6, 8, and 10 are probably used more than any others.
What are the different types of screws?

What are M8 screws?
The defined diameter of metric bolts is actually slightly larger than the actual diameter of the bolt shaft. So an M8 bolt would have a shaft diameter that’s slightly under 8mm which means that the bolt should fit through an 8mm hole.

How do I know what type of screw I have?
Most commonly, screws and bolts are identified by diameter (of the threaded portion), thread pitch, and length. Length is measured from the point at which the head sits flat with the surface, to the tip of the threads.
Is a 8 or 10 screw bigger?
Machine screws are often found in sizes of: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14—the larger the number, the larger the screw.
What type of screws are strongest?
Structural screws (also called “construction” screws) are stronger than lags and make longer-lasting connections. You can just zip them in with any 18-volt drill (no pilot hole required).
How do I know what kind of screws to use?
The general rule of thumb is that the screw should enter at least half the thickness of the bottom material, e.g. 3/4″ into a 2 x 4. The other factor is the screw’s diameter, or gauge. Screws come in gauges 2 through 16. Most of the time you’ll want to go with a #8 screw.
