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.

I think this might be what you're after. It gives dimensions and load
limits.

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

Better prices on Ebay ...... watch the version/edition (though they change
contents slowly).

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.

FWIW: the 27th edition of Machinery's Handbook is due out in April.

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