And, of course, ;^) there are coarse, fine, and extra-fine standard thread sizes in the Unified Thread Series. This is the standard that was first agreed to by the UK, US, and Canada. The flywheel nut on a Briggs & Stratton engine is an extra-fine thread (guess how I found that out!). The only thing the others haven't mentioned is that coarse threads are used for softer or more brittle materials (bronze, brass, aluminum, cast magnesium, cast iron, plastic). Coarse threads are more resistant to stripping, and are still useful when some corrosion or slight damage to the threads is present. There are lots of other specialty thread systems. The farther back you go in time, things become less standard. A machinist with a good lathe and some experience can cut just about any thread they like, and some did, just out of spite. A lot of things got standardized in WW II.
