Hey everyone, I am new to this forum so i apologize if i seem redundant when asking about some of this stuff.

Where can I find these? I am working on standardizing a few things at my new job but am pretty new to all of this. Is there a store I can go to for these books or go to Amazon and order them. Any direction for this would be nice. thanks

Correct Answer

You can buy all of them on techstreet.com. You can also find some of them for free people have posted on the web.

The most expensive one will probably be the Y14.5 which I found posted here as a pdf.for free

Hope this helps!!

To be sure you have the latest revisions you would be better off buying them. If I had the means I would go for the print & pdf. Some of those secure pdf's can be a real pain in the a** and can only be opened on the computer of the person who bought them.

Hey Chris,

one more question. More or less your opinion because you seem to know what's going on. Would it be wise for a small successful company to invest into these standards? Or do you think it would be a waste of money. My personal outlook was that it would help with organizing things a little and also help with consistency as his parts library became more extensive.

In my opinion specs are very important but then again I work with all miltary parts. Most of the items I deal with has a spec that calls out a spec about another spec. I would say you don't need most of them as they cover basic drafting practices but then again if you don't have a lot of experience you might want to have them all to learn how to do things and why they should be done a certain way. It is all a matter of opinion but if I could I would get them all.

Not sure If I made any sense but I hope it helps.

I would say if you were to get any of them to get the ASME Y14.5-2009 as it has to do with dimensioning and tolerancing which is very important.

The link I gave above has that one for free so you are on a good start.

Go to google and do a search for each one of the specs with the file type as pdf like the example below and you will probably find most of them for free.

ASME Y14.5-2009 filetype:pdf

This will look for only pdf files with the ASME Y14.5-2009 in them.

Where is it you work? I originally entered this program with intentions of one day designing guns and ammunition. I have trouble finding any good companies to Design for. It seems to be a horrible mess every where I have gone since my internship.

I work at a military spare parts manufacturer. Not a lot of designing just a lot of take a crumby drawing and make it readable.

Also what does the M, used on some of the titles of the different standards, mean? E.g. ASME Y14.2M

I beleive that they used to have the revisions in the name but I beleive they switched over to just changing the year at the end.
