what consitutes a turn for air screw?

[lnb001]

Finally got the caps off for my air screws and was thinking what constituted one turn?  Is it 360 degrees all the way around or 180?  Thanks.

um, 360.  180 is half a turn...

And now....  How to Turn a Screw:

hmmm,  After thinking to myself what the heck kind of question is that...   And then rethinking about why someone would ask that, I think I know what you are getting at.  A normal turn of the screwdriver with your wrist yields about half a turn of the screw.   But when people are talking "a turn" they mean 360 degrees of the screw.  It's much easier to keep your count straight by going with half turns (180 degrees of the screw) at a time to get where you are going.  Your wrist my easily turn the screw 5/8 or 3/4 of a turn at a time but you could lose track of where you are.  Turn the screw in until just snug then note the position of the slot.  Make half turns at a time and when you get to how many turns you need, make sure the slot looks just like it did when you started (if you going for a 1/2 turn increment like 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 etc.).  I know this may seem like common sense to most people but it may help someone on here so I though I would elaborate.

I just colored 1 side of my mixture screw with a black sharpie.No brainer.Half a turn it's on the opposite side,a full turn it's back on the side where it started.
