Shop Reference

Every calculator, lookup table, and design reference you keep reaching for — in one place. Welding settings, wire gauge tables, sheet metal rules, fastener data, 3D print guides, CNC feeds & speeds, torque tables, and unit conversions.

Bookmark it and stop Googling. No PDFs, no Machinery's Handbook page-flipping. Just the data, fast.

Six Categories, Growing Fast

🔧 Shop

Material playbook, fastener calculator (SAE + metric), PEM & heat-set insert sizing, hole saw RPM helper, torque tables for inch and metric bolts.

⚙️ Metal

Sheet metal gauge lookup, bend deduction calculator, SendCutSend specs. NEW: MIG/TIG/Stick welding calculators, filler metal cross-reference, plasma cutting, joint design, and weld symbols.

🖨️ Print

FDM fit calculator for press/transition/sliding/clearance fits, hole compensation, elephant foot guidance, minimum thread sizes, and material reference.

🎯 CNC

Router, Mill & Lathe. Feeds & speeds calculators, SFM tables, chipload reference, end mill guide, insert ID decoder, threading/tap drill charts, and operation parameters.

⚡ Electrical

NEW: AWG wire gauge table, voltage drop calculator, Ohm's law calculator, resistor color code decoder, connector reference (18 types), battery reference, and EE formulas.

🧪 Materials

Unit converter (length, temp, pressure, weight, torque, SFM → RPM), material properties comparison, tolerances by process, and surface finish reference.

How It Works

1

Open it

Click "Launch Tool" above. Everything loads instantly — the entire database is embedded in the page.

2

Pick a category

Six groups across the top — Shop, Metal, Print, CNC, Electrical, Materials. Click a group, pick a sub-tab, and you're in.

3

Look up & calculate

Type a material, select a screw size, enter a hole saw diameter — results update instantly. No submit buttons, no loading spinners.

The database can be updated by dropping a JSON file onto the database panel in the Tools tab. Your custom data is cached in local storage.

Built for the Shop Floor and the CAD Screen

Product design engineers and machinists pulling SFM tables, feeds & speeds, insert IDs, tap drill charts, and fastener specs.

Fabricators and welders dialing in MIG/TIG settings, looking up filler metals, and checking joint prep.

Electrical engineers and builders sizing wire, calculating voltage drop, decoding resistors, and picking connectors.

Anyone tired of Googling the same tables every time they need a tap drill size, wire gauge, or welding setting.
