There are all sorts of screw diameters - major, minor, pitch, mean, etc., but in general a screw diameter is a called by its nominal diameter which is the major diameter of the screw, approximately. For example a 1/2 inch screw has a nominal diameter of 1/2 inch.
# 6 screw is one of many US Numbers screws (where is pitch makes no difference in diameter) All Number screws are measured as follows: O.D = 0.060" + N(0.013") , where's N is the number of the screw , thus the diameter of # 6 screw is: 0.060" + 6(0.013") = 0.060" + 0.078" = 0.138"

The lead screw moves the turret by a precise increment for every rotation of the screw. This allows the machine to generate threads in a workpiece, to generate precise length and diameter dimensions, and to maintain a constant rate of metal removal.
6 is the diameter of the shaft and 32 is the number of threads it has per inch.
the difference between the min and max effective of your two threads will tell you if there going to clash on assembly
The standard screw diameter in millimeters for an 8 screw is approximately 4.2mm.
The diameter of a 10 screw is approximately 0.190 inches.
The diameter of a 6 screw is approximately 0.138 inches.
The diameter of an M4 screw is approximately 4 millimeters.
The diameter of an M5 screw is approximately 5 millimeters.
The standard diameter for a size 8 screw is 0.164 inches.
The standard diameter of a 16 screw is 0.1875 inches.
The standard diameter of an M3 screw is 3 millimeters.
The standard diameter of an M4 screw is 4 millimeters.
The standard diameter of an M5 screw is 5 millimeters.
The standard diameter of an M6 screw is 6 millimeters.
The main difference between a 6 screw and a 8 screw is their diameter. A 6 screw is smaller in diameter than a 8 screw.
