Tables

All sizes except threads in mm.

Common Metric Bearings, mm
Type	d	D	B	Where / Why Used
608	8	22	7	Skate bearing, cheap easy and strong. Used everywhere. Fits 5/16" rod very well.
625	5	16	5	Extruders, gearboxes, little things.
635	5	19	6	Bigger, cheaper, uglier 625
624	4	13	5	Can kludge to fit #8 SAE bolts.
633	3	13	5	3mm bearings were sometimes used in direct drive extruders. Rare and expensive.
623	3	10	4
603	3	9	5

Linear Bearings I Have Known
Type	d	D	L	Notes
LM8UU	8	15	24	Surprisingly, the go-to for hobby projects. 8mm rod is very flimsy.
LM10UU	10	19	29
LM12UU	12	21	30
KH1228	12	19	28	Used in the mutated darwin sold by BitsFromBytes. The 12mm rods were the best part of it.

Common Screws in North America
Type	Known By	Use
M3-0.5	Little Computer Screw	CDROMs, laptop HDDs, some computer cases, etc. Metric, in my country!?
#4-40	VGA Thumbscrew	VGA, DVI, RS232, fit-nothing junkpile lingerers.
#6-32	Big Computer Screw	Full-size HDD's, computer cases, electric outlet covers. Extremely common.
#8-32	Little Electric Panel Screw
#10-32	Big Electric Panel Screw
3/8", 7/16", 5.5mm	Fan Screw	Self-tapping screw. No clear standard but the 4.3mm-ish holes they jam into.
3/8" 32TPI	Coax connector, F Connector
1/4" 36TPI	SMA connector, wifi connector
1 1/16"-11.5 NH	Garden Hose, North America	See NH below.
3/4"-14	Garden Hose, Europe
3/4"-5 ACME	Broom Handle	Tolerances vary wildly. See here.
PCO1881	Pop-bottle	See file for far too many details.

Calculated Profiles for Truncated Threads

Type	A	H1	H2	Calculated Coordinates
Type	A	H1	H2	P1	P2	P3
UTS	60°	(3/8)*0.8660	(1/4)*0.8660	0.250000, 0.00000	0.562498, 0.54125	0.687509, 0.54125
UTS	Unified Thread Standard -- all normal nuts and bolts, metric or not. 0.8660 is the height of the 60° triangle.
NH	60°	(3/8)*0.8660	(3/8)*0.8660	0.1250, 0.0000	0.5000, 0.6495	0.6250, 0.6495
NH	"North American garden hose". Surprisingly similar to UTS but more symmetric. Again, 0.8660 is the height of the 60° triangle.
Trapezoidal	30°	1/4	1/4	0.3660,0.0000	0.5000,0.5000	0.8660,0.5000
Trapezoidal	"Metric ACME" is probably this.
ACME	29°	1/4	1/4	0.3707,0.0000	0.5000,0.5000	0.8707,0.5000
ACME	Leadscrews with imperial measures are probably this.
Stub ACME	29°	3/20	3/20	0.422415, 0.000000	0.500000, 0.300000	0.922415, 0.300000
Stub ACME	Is there a 'stub metric' too? It is a mystery.
BSPP	55°	0.320	0.320	0.166667, 0	0.5, 0.640327	0.666667, 0.640327
BSPP	Note this is the parallel thread profile, not the tapered one. BSPP is technically rounded, not truncated, but technically, that's often ignored too since it doesn't matter, BSPP not being self-sealing.
NPT	60°	0.400	0.400	0.0381198, 0	0.508988, 0.815568	0.547108, 0.815568
NPT	NPT is of course special: It's tapered an exact 1.78333°, equivalent to 1/16" rise over 1" run. The given profile has been offset to include that taper without altering any tooth angles, but there is an offset that must be applied in use as well. For every turn of thread, you must add tan(1.78333°) to the Y value. So, P4 would be [0,0.0311351] instead of [0,0], etc.
OpenSCAD Formulae
function profile(A,H2,H1)=let(M=tan(90-(A/2)), X1=((M/2)-(H22))/M, X2=((M/2)+(H12))/M, OFF=-X1M) [ [X1+X1,OFF + MX1], [X1+X2,OFF+MX2], [X1+2-X2,OFF+MX2] ]/2; THREAD_UTS=profile(60, (3/8)0.8660, (1/4)0.8660); THREAD_NH=profile(60, (3/8)0.8660, (3/8)0.8660); THREAD_ACME=profile(29, 1/4, 1/4); THREAD_TRAP=profile(30, 1/4, 1/4);
