Found a servo screw at [url]www.microfasteners.com[/url] with a size of #2 x 9/16. My question is what size is the first one the other is 14.28mm for me here in Sweden. I have looked at [url]www.sizes.com[/url] and there is no input on the subject.

I would use a 1.5 mm drill bit for the pilot hole.

Hope this helps!

It's the servo mounting screws that I'm been looking at but for me that uses metric system it's hard to find information on ex. 4-40 the last number being how many threads per inch but the first is it 4 inches or .4 or .04. I don't know.

Diameter of Number sized threads is calculated as:
0.060 + (0.013*N) N=Size number of screw

0 = 0.060 diameter in inches
1 = 0.073
2 = 0.086
3 = 0.099
4 = 0.112
5 = 0.125
6 = 0.138
8 = 0.164
10 = 0.190
12 = 0.216

So a 4-40 screw would be .112 inches in diameter with 40 threads per inch.

Status: offline 		The same applize for wood screw also or ?

#2 x 9/16 would be 0.06+(0.013*2)= 0.086 inch = 2.2 mm

If this information is correct I thank you
