Carriage bolts are designed with a smooth, rounded head and a square section that helps grip the material as the bolt is tightened. Originally used in horse-drawn carriage manufacturing, these bolts have become staples in woodworking, metalworking, and other applications where a strong, secure joint is required. The added square neck keeps the bolt from spinning when a nut is tightened, making installation easier and ensuring a powerful grip on the materials being joined.
One of the key dimensions to consider when choosing a flat washer is the outer diameter. This dimension determines the overall size of the washer and should be selected based on the requirements of the application. Flat washers are available in a wide range of outer diameters, from as small as 1/4 inch to as large as 3 inches or more.
Metric washers are flat discs, typically made from metal or plastic, designed to be used with fasteners like screws and bolts. They come in standardized sizes, measured in millimeters, according to the metric system. This system of measurement is widely used globally, making metric washers ideal for international projects and components.
