Excellent reference for the non CNC machinist... Or even for them.

Fast info. I keep it in my truck when I'm out buying materials.

Excellent quick reference

All pages grease- and tear-proof

For what it is, none I can think of

All the knowledge I could want in a small book, well two books, since I also bought the Fasterners book.

Great quality, and it will be used in my small shop. I am not an engineer at all, but the material, and knowledge in these books are incredible.

Entered a trade school and got this book a while back and it has been extremely useful throughout schooling and just read random sections from time to time.

Goes pretty in depth with types of metals and materials. The entire book is well organized and with the red tabs makes it easier to access on the fly what I may be looking for.

I wish it had more on threading as I sometimes make treads that I can’t find in the book from time to time.

Great book with lots of info!

Awesome even for the mechanical trades out there

Lots of new things to warn here and made me even consider completing some sort of engineering trade. Made remembering the formulas easier aswell

Something are grouped in an odd way. Also did not have a lot of information on types of gears and their pros and cons. Would have been cool if they had basics to using workshop equipment too

A great resource to have at hand in the workshop.

More convenient to have and to quickly find information than the Machinery's Handbook (or in all the folders of paper I have or the internet). The section on TC inserts is very thorough and really useful, as I never remember all the codes. The thread section is also pretty comprehensive; pleased to see the tapered threads were included.

The index at the back is listed at quite a high level. Was surprised that aluminium grade 5005 was not listed anywhere; this quite a common rolled sheet grade here. It would be good have the weights and specs of SHS and RHS steel included with the tubes and solid sections.

Fantastic book with a lot of great information. A lot of attention to detail to create a product that will be used for a long while.

Durable pages and great quality finish.

Fantastic book always asking to be looked at by other engineers

Handy size brilliant info about turning inserts

Hardly anything about types of gears ( straight cut , bevel ,worm etc) and pros and cons of there use

Has a lot of great info for newer shop guys.

Lots of handy information

Sometimes I felt like things were grouped together in an odd order but once you get used to the placement of the information it was fine.

Great mechanical reference guide

Well written, and especially illustrated.

None.

Handy little book, definately learnt a couple things

Very informative on the coatings and effects

I have been searching for information on a prevailing torque nut for a while now, I was hoping to find info in here but to no evail.

Quite amazed at the amount of information that can fit in one little book.

Has a lot of information that is hard to find if you don't know where to look.

Doesn't have as much information on titanium as I was hoping for, but I guess it's not as common of a workshop metal as the rest.

I love this book. It is very informative and helpful. Nicely laid out.

Easy to find what I am looking for.

None that I can think of.

Great job on this book

Very helpful and great to see it a bit bigger for the old guys

N/A

very high quality reference book

high quality color print, good easy to use binding, perfect size, and very usefull information

no real downsides

10/10. Good size, feel, and paper quality. Easy to read and color coded. Just enough info for broad general purpose without bogging down with too much technical information. Very useful with beginning engineering work, very helpful explanations of differing material classifications.

Good cost vs. quality
Easy to read (big font, colorful)
Useful tabs
Easy to clean

The only problems were I had to "break" apart each page when i first got it (no big deal, is probably a side affect of page material), there is also an extra line on "blue finish" box on pg 176.

Recommended by machining instructor in an introductory lathe class. His was well worn and clearly a constant companion. Ordered a copy on the spot and read cover to cover, which clarified many topics which I had not previously fully understood

Convenient size, well organized and printed on durable material, comprehensive.

Seemed expensive when placing the order, but after receiving and reviewing the book, the price is justified by its quality.

Lots of great information

Easy to find Information

As a hobby machinist, this is an excellent resource for pretty much everything I will ever need. Conversion charts, speeds and feeds, pictorial descriptions of various fixings, indexing chart and tapping drill sizes plus much more.
I still have my 30 year old "Zeus" data chart book that was issued to me as an apprentice, but this is much clearer and contains way more information.

Wipe clean pages a bonus when working in an oily environment

None I can think of
