Title: Designer resource Sites
Post by: John Mac on December 10, 2008, 08:10:46 AM

Hi All

I stumbled on this site while looking for Cap screw dimensions... It Googled straight up.
http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Screws/cap_screws.htm

Or Screws in general
http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Screws/

Or Useful_Tables
http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/

Or The Home page
http://www.roymech.co.uk/

If you stumble on a link it is often rewarding to strip away the levels one at a time....You never know what you may find.

Cheers

Macka

You could spend hours depending on need or interest.
