Thread Tool Settings

Thread Tool Settings

Hi,

 

I found at Mcmaster Carr a

Vented Hex Head Screw
1/4"-20 Thread Size, 1" Long
. See Carr specs at www.mcmaster.com/#90220A130 
 
In the shaft's end I made a .25" wide hole that's 1" deep. 
 
When I select the hole using the Thread Tool in Fusion 360 I find many fusion settings that are not mentioned or don't match up with the Carr Hex Bolt specs. I don't know what settings to choose to ensure the hole threads match up with the hex screw threads. 
 
How do I figure this out now and in the future because this mistake will be very costly?
 
Thanks,
 
Russ

Hi Russ,

 

Make sure to use the ANSI Unified Screw Threads when working with McMastCarr as they use the American standards. (The top menu item refers to different standardisations) The menu should change to fit all options that are shown in the drawing or the specification sheet. 

 

Hope this helps
