Will see a lot of use

March 31, 2026 By: Steve Marquess (Adamstown, United States)

Comments
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?

Engineering black book chart size

February 23, 2026 By: Jacob Rice (Mackay, Australia)

Comments
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.
