Metric does not give a number of thread per inch like imperial or standard thread do. Metric gives a number in mm that represents the distance between one thread to the next, such as M8x1.25 or M6x1 or M10x1.75 etc. There are standard threads and there are fine threads. For example M10x1 is a fine thread. They are used when something has to be held stronger. Zoltan
