ENGINEERS Black Book 3RD EDITION (METRIC)
April 12, 2026
By: Liam Hammond (Wollongong, Australia)
Comments
Fantastic book with plenty of information for both designing parts as well as manufacturing, both fabrication and machining.
Pros
I make most use of the speeds/feed and SFM sections of the book, great that the relevant formulas are included as well for more niche cases. The tolerances section is also great for design, and the GD&T helps greatly remembering the symbols. Appreciate the materials section, for both metals and plastics, as well as the adhesives, great information.
Cons
Speeds/feeds for HHS/carbide end mills and lathe cutting tools would be great, additionally a section on welding may be a fantastic addition, though it would probably make for a thick book.
Amazing

Still getting used to it, but I can see it will be used more that Machinerys Handbook.
Pros
+1 on the page treatment
Cons
1) In SPANNER SELECTION CHART put a footnote that "A/F" is Across Flats. Obvious once you think of it, but had me stumped at first.
2) ER collets in Tpaers section, but no 5C?

Your chart that you send out has the wrong size listed. It says “when folded out 420.00mm (16.54 inches) High x 2979.40mm (11 inches) Wide” it appears that the correct width is meant to be 279.4 and not 2979.40mm. This I confirmed by converting 11 inches to mm.
