Just starting my journey in the hobby sphere of machining

Easy to quickly refer back to.

None discovered as of yet.

At first sight this looks like an ideal workshop replacement for my existing collection of references.

The lay-flat feature is a great idea, albeit difficult to implement in practice.
I appreciate the option of the large version for greater legibility.

The user-installable tabs are useful but the selection is not comprehensive eg none for thread tapping sizes; would it be possible to supply blank tabs for completion by the user?
Not clear how you would write on the grease-proof blank pages and it would be nice if extra pages were available for later insertion.

hi I have gone to do some cnc machining and have noticed there is no G-codes or M-codes in the new 3rd edition engineers black book. I have looked back on a work colleges 1st edition engineers black book and it is in there, which I find werid as cnc machines are becoming more and more common. Being a new edition book I thought it should have it in there.

awesome book! super helpful for everything.

has no G-code or M-codes for cnc machining

Even after a year there is always something new to learn.

So much useful information.

I find the print size to be small for my aging eyes.

Really good

I think a galvanic corrosion chart with the potential difference between metals would be a great addiction to this book. And it would be awesome to have some general formulas for strength calculations of beams etc.

I love the black book really great!

I’m missing the galvanic corrosion chart

Very handy book to reference

Lots of standards charts easy to find and read

Could include mav lock and bearing information

I really like so much information in one place. Being new to the book, it will take awhile to learn where everything but that is OK.

Easy to read print size and the variety of color is nice.

Don't know of any.

New to machining and this book is an amazing resource of pertinent information to keep in your shop.

Pages are well layed out, easy to read for such a small book.

None that I can foresee.

Fantastic engineering reference book

A must have for working in a machine shop.

Outstanding but needs pockets

Easy to use and clean, good selection of data, overall outstanding

Not a con exactly, but a little clear pocket inside the covers would be handy

Decided to treat myself to this after seeing people reviewing it. Mainly wanted a good reference for carbide inserts and a drill size chart, but this has everything!

Love the wipe-clean pages, and the fold-flat binding. One of my pet hates with reference books that don't fold flat!

Would be nice to have EN steel grades listed in the steel alloys section, as that's how a lot of steel is sold in the UK.

Minor - thumb cutouts on the page edges would be fantastic, but it would probably be difficult to do this as there's no larger "categories" that they could correspond to!

Great Christmas present

Useful information

Na

Awesome content, terrible tab placement/categories

Really good information in the book, very nice that the pages are laminated, good size

The tabs that come with the book also come with a “guide” to the matching page numbers. In concept very nice, but feels kinda pointless when certain subjects, triangle formulas and tapers, are split into several parts, and can therefore not be covered by a single tab. It might just be my slight tism, but I’d find it nice if every subject was collected in cohesive blocks. I understand the triangles are split because the part with general formulas for plane figures fit nicely with the rest of the geometry math, and the “taper” tab is a single word for 3 completely different categories, taper turning, taper pins, and tapered shanks.

I dont have an actual solution to this problem, other than perhaps printing more specific tab names for the different categories, or just moving the sections with the same name together.

Despite this, still an great rescourse, good book

Great addition for any machinest/ engineer

Very nice quality

None

Recently received my copy of a engineers black book 3rd addition metric. Love the size, previouslyhad the pocket size! Its easy to read and as usual well set out

Well set out format
Great size

Nothing that comes to mind

It's one of my main "go to" references for my work as a motorcycle mechanic and also other projects be it either wood,metal, mechanical etc
The Fastener Black Book is next in line to purchase

Good diagrams & descriptions

None, really

I love this book. It has allmost all of the jnformation in it that i need and could want. I would only suggest that, if possible, a page be added with a data sheet compiling the metric and imperial speeds ( surface feet/meters per minute) for dufferent materials when working on a lathe and milling machine. Finding a decent chart online is difficult and it could be a huge help to those trying to learn.

Wonderfully detailed and durable enough for somone like me who breaks allot of things.

No cons could be found from me personaly

Very Good

Plenty Of Information. Heaps Of Formula's For Just About Everything

Wished It Extended More Into The Welding Trade.
