Just got my Engineers Black Book

February 27, 2018 By: Andy Gerler, bei Smaato Inc (Hamburg, Germany)

Comments
A great addition for somebody living on the wrong side of the pond using tools and sources from the States like Tubalcain and Tom Lipton on YouTube.

Pros
You see that a man from practice created a well thought reference. Especially the metric/imperial comparisons or the international metal standards charts are fantastic.

Cons
It is so good you should not leave it unattended or somebody will take it.
 

Excellent Reference Book

February 27, 2018 By: G Veale (Invercargill , New Zealand)

Comments
Excellent reference book

Especially like the section on Tungsten Carbide tool holders and the selection/ application of these. This book has something for everyone from the beginner to the experienced
professional .

Cons
Print quite small for the aging eyes.
 

Just received new book

February 26, 2018 By: karl gross (Novi, United States)

Comments
Really like the book, bought it especially for the description of carbide inserts and specific tool holders. Also like the bolt circles/areas/etc for milling and turning operations. Great machinist reference book.

Pros
Lots of good information. Book will be used often for layouts, feeds and speeds, and carbide tool selection. Also, a very nice drill gage.

Cons
Print is really small! Also, since the main reason I bought the book was so that I could better understand carbide insert/tooling nomenclature, I’m very disappointed that all the threading inserts are only specified in metric. I thought I was getting the “imperial “ version of your book. Also, I couldn’t find specifications for carbide parting tool holders and parting specific inserts.

Comments
This book is a good all around basic reference book.

Pros
It has a lot of great and valuable as well as very useful trig and geometry formulas to get you through to tough measurements.

Cons
I think it too basic for any one who is either learning the information or in my case having difficulty remembering what was up there for 40 yrs. And the old hard drive is needing more memory.
