In plain words
MechToolsHub is a centralized engineering workspace offering over 24 free calculators and reference tools for mechanical engineers. It provides standards-based calculations for bolt torque, beam deflection, bearing life, and shaft design, with every formula traceable to ISO, ASME, VDI, or DIN standards and peer-reviewed sources. The platform consolidates calculators, unit converters, material references, and engineering tools that engineers typically access across multiple websites, eliminating the need to switch between different sources for their calculations and engineering data.

From the sources
MechToolsHub is an all-in-one workspace for mechanical engineers, bringing essential calculators, unit converters, material references, and engineering tools into one fast, modern platform. Instead of switching between multiple websites, engineers can access reliable tools in a single place. We're just getting started and are building the platform with feedback from the engineering community. Thanks for checking us out!
24+ free engineering calculators for bolt torque, beam deflection, bearing life, shaft design & more. Every formula traceable to ISO, ASME, VDI standards.
Mechanical engineering calculators, ISO/ASME standards library, material property database, and formula reference. Standards-based calculations with step-by-step derivation, formula sources, and explicit applicability limits. Every calculation references a published international standard or peer-reviewed engineering textbook. No rule-of-thumb values. Every formula, constant, and safety factor is traced to ISO, ASME, VDI, or DIN standards, or a peer-reviewed textbook (Shigley's, Roark's, Machinery's Handbook). Calculators organized by discipline — from fasteners and structural analysis to fluid systems and manufacturing. Every output includes the equation used, the source standard, and the…from mechtoolshub.com

Long time reader, first time self-promoter. I'm a bicycle mechanic that figured I could make the process of bicycle wheelbuilding faster, more accurate and more satisfying. I do it by sampling digital indicators, rendering the data in useful ways, and injecting domain-specific insights. The UI interaction happens by foot pedal so my paradigm retains the traditional way of working with your hands.

An open source tool to generate Jet Engine compressors2023 · github.com · ▲35Hi everyone started this project a year ago to generate the CAD for a Jet Engine Axial Compressor. I am now open sourcing this tool that can take in a JSON file with specs and generate the CAD assembly. Still has a lot of work to improve designs but there isn't anything the Open Source community can't accomplish!

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
