A screw operates by a raised ledge which proceeds up the shaft of the screw in a spiral. This raised ledge is called the thread of the screw. Since the spiral can either proceed in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner, we distinguish between right-hand thread screws (counterclockwise as viewed from above) and left-hand thread screws (clockwise).
Assuming it is the LENGTH of the screw that is 1_7/8: (2/3 * 1.875)/16 = .078 inches
Pitch is threads / unit of dimensionSo in metric, 1.25 pitch = threads / mmIn english usnits 1.25 pitch = threads / in

The idiom is to have a screw loose. if you have a screw loose it means you are insane.
The 'screw' part, as in 'screw-driver'
a screw with closely spread threads
the threads determine the depth the screw should move
A screw that screws into a screw works by using its threads to grip onto the existing screw and create a secure connection. The threads on the screw being inserted match the threads on the existing screw, allowing them to twist together and hold in place.
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
A screw is a fastener that is similar to a nail, but it has threads.
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
The threads are what make it work. As you will know if you have tried to use a screw with stripped threads, it is useless. That is because a screw is a simple machine built from an even simpler machine: the inclined plane. The threads are an inclined plane wound around the outside of the screw, and are what change the twisting motion into a lifting motion.
There are two main types of wood screw threads: coarse threads and fine threads. Coarse threads have larger gaps between the threads, making them better for softer woods and quick installation. Fine threads have smaller gaps and are more suited for hardwoods and providing a stronger grip. The type of thread can affect how well the screw holds in the wood and how easily it can be driven in.
Friction occurs between the screw and the wall as the threads of the screw "grab" into the material when it is being turned. Additionally, there is friction between the screwdriver tip and the screw head, helping to transfer the torque applied to turn the screw.
§ Screw threads have better compression strength than other threads. § Due to low thread angle there is no radial pressure on nut. § Due to smaller angle, the lead of screw is less.

The distance between two threads in a screw is called the pitch. It is the measurement of how far the screw advances with one complete turn.
