My guess is that it should read M6

... looks like O.C.R. error

No I agree it should be M6, it all makes sense when you substitute that in the list at the top of the message.

It looks as though M6 scales to about the right diameter when looking at the other dimensions as well.

I cross posted with Michael - I agree he is right. I was assumuimng the nukbers were pitches with the decimal point missing - not quantities!

Itzik - what are you making?

Neil,

Thanks for your support

... regarding the numbers; they could well be lengths "under-head"

[except for the shoulder screw, which is is described differently]

Hi, maybe the shoulder screw is a grub screw.

Regards Nick.

Nick,

That's possible [as we haven't seen the drawing];

but this is what I normally think of as a "Shoulder Screw"

Hi Michael, you could well be correct. I've never come across these in my line of work.

Regards Nick.

Itzik,

Thanks for the very useful link

I am sure that my interpretation is correct.

P.S. I hope the error is only in the book, not the actual exam question !
