Comments
Very good and understandable charts and diagrams, for the small stuff we do with the drillpress and lathe here it is a weatlh of knowlege

Pros
Good size, does not feal like it will fall apart soon, all the info I was hoping for and more.

Cons
I understand why the Spiral spine was chosen but in my experiance it is the first thing that tears the pages so they fall out

February 8, 2019 Response from: Hi Impact Supplies

Hi Fredrik, The pages are tear proof so don't expect them to tear off the spine anytime soon! Thank you for your review.

Comments
Tough pages, really like the anti-glare coating, more information than I expected.

Small, great reference material.

Would like to see cutting speed chart, based on material, type cutter for turning, milling and reaming, for carbide and HSS. The metal binder, took mine to the office supply store and had the binder replaced for spiral binding.

Excellent

February 1, 2019 By: Neil King (Chalfont St Peter, United Kingdom)

Comments
Contains almost everything needed in a handy size

Pros
Size and ring binding

The binder punching caused many pages to be almost glued together so took ages to separate them without tearing.

Would like to see a little more info on heat treating: specific temperatures and covering other metals.

ENGINEERS BLACK BOOK 3RD ED (INCH)

January 30, 2019 By: Regis WACHEUX, VISHAY (EVERE, Belgium)

Comments
Great and very practical book. Well organized.

Pros
Tables have contrasted colors and are easilly viewed in different light environements. Laminated pages are strong enough to be durable and light enough to be practical to use.
I like especially the summaries on the screws, threads, tapers, and the conversion tables which are rapid to find.

Cons
I miss a summary table showing the norms and the page it refers to (for example, SAE AS-568A / O-Rings / Pages 94-95)
