Default Screw sizes. or Lag bolts going smaller too.

I was by Lowes to pick up some lag bolts, for a set of wheels to move my
wood lathe. Thanks I think Leon for the video showing a perfect method..
pics later.

I saw the conversation on screws getting smaller.
Well the lags are shrinking both in length and width too.
Length has shrunk from previous screws by enough to raise my eyebrow. A
1 1/2 in screw previously measured 1 5/8 length (much older stock that I
had), now measures 1 3/8 in length.
The lag has also changed from 5/16 previously to 1/64 under.

Can't wait too see where we are going from here.
