Flat Washers: Basic Usage
Washers are used in conjunction with threaded fasteners, like a typical nut or bolt.
The washer acts as a means of distributing the stress applied to components that are
bolted together. The washer also cuts down on friction as the bolt is being turned. As
a general rule of thumb, it's best to place a washer between two fasteners where the
actual turning action is taking place when tightening. This allows a washer to do its
job.
