This might be a nice reference sheet for newbies: http://www.electronicfasteners.com/pdfs/electronicposters.pdf
Wow! Great find!
that can be VERY handy…
Wow! Good job, thanks!
Thanks, Dick. A very nice reference poster.
Feel free to leave links to other good references, like tap drill charts, drill speed chart or what have you. This one isn’t too bad, though a little simplistic when it comes to drilling different metals: http://www.ibiblio.org/twa/info/drillSpeedChart.pdf Or this one: http://members.home.nl/b.ollivier/html/drillspeedchart.htm
I have yet to find two charts that agree closely.
This is nice: http://www.hillmangroup.com/misc/Fastener%20Reference%20Chart%20A.pdf
Possibly useful: http://www.americanfastener.com/technical/grade_markings_steel.asp
Lots of useful PDF reference docs here: http://catalog.starrett.com/catalog/catalog/PLH2.asp?NodeNum=30801&Mode=REF
I find this one useful too: http://www.stanford.edu/~jwodin/holes.html
That is a nice one!
Here’s a pretty good chart for SFM for various materials.
With SFM you can derive RPM (4*SFM)/Tool Dia] for drilling/milling, as well as feedrates and other good info.
It is a really great chart and I’ll probably post it in my shop.

But I’ll be crossing off where it says “Square” and writing in the correct name, “Robertson”. Sheesh… that’s like calling a Phillips head screw a cross-head screw. :ahh:

It’s full of holes!
Everyone should read, Carroll Smith’s Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook.
I’m still working on memorizing an old edition of “Machinery’s Handbook”. I’ll put it on the reading list
