How does friction affect screws?
Friction holds screws in. It also makes insertion harder. With wood screws, one should drill a hole in the wood first. Then, the fibers will twist with the screw, and oppose removal more strongly than insertion. In machine screws, the softer washer distributes the force of the screw, permitting higher frictions in the threads without damaging the joined materials.
