Mechanical Reference Books - ISO

[davidbrennan]

I know this is probably going to be a unusual question in a forum primarily inhabited by Americans, but does anyone out there have any recommendations for mechanical reference books using metric units. I really like the Machinery's Handbook, but its all Imperial units.

Additionally, I'd really like to broaden my reference material a bit. I'm only really interested in books that you've used and found helpful or comprehensive, firsthand experience rather than something you heard or read about.

Failing that any review sites for technical books would be helpful.

Thanks,
David

There used to be an equivalent to the handbook published in the UK called "Kempe's Engineers Year-Book" I don't know if it is still available.

What version Machinery's Handbook do you have? I use the 26th edition and found plenty of metric information. What in particular are you looking for? I also do everything in metric and would like to find entirely metric books, but the 26th edition has had just about everything I've needed so far. It is also available on CD if that is important to you. Mike Bensema
