Now wait a sec.
If you're comparing AWG size with screw sizes as above ?
I think you have your wires crossed!..
#6 wire is larger than #10 wire..


Which wire guage?

6-32 is smaller than 10-32 screws.


Correct. In fact see http://www.tecratools.com/pages/service/taps_dies.html
for the 24111 Tri-Tap Tool, which taps 6, 8 or 10 size holes at 32 tpi.
