anyone here have any idea where I can find this info...

I'm looking for an online or even a program that functions as a machinist
handbook of sorts. One that will give the thread specs for a variety of
threads, 1/4-28 unf-2b, for example. Any help tracking this type of site
down would be appreciated.

 

You can by a Machinist's hand book on disk from an Industrial Supplier for
around $90. If anyone knows of something that is free I would be quite
interested.

thank, that's what i was looking for.

 

Additionally, take a look at this -- either PC (Windows) based or
palmtop based.

Another useful program (doesn't do bolt details) for general engineering

Btw, the name is "Machinery's Handbook". They are up to about the 26th
edition. I prefer the printed version.

If you want something like the exact nominal dimensions of an American
standard countersink-drill you'll find it there. OTOH, if you're
designing for Asian manufacture they may not have all the info on
what's used there.

Ah, that explains why I saw the 26th offered at sale prices at KBC
last week...
