Very helpful reference for the machinist

Would have liked some more common fasteners in there

Excellent book more information then I thought there would be and for the price A*
Pros
Easy to understand charts for a novice and the diagrams help a lot especially with the gears and pulleys.

Love the book - central to my shop.
Pros
Lots of important data
Cons
Suggest adding commas to large numbers, e.g., 1,000,000 vs. 1000000. Also the section on Tolerances pg., 71 could use some clarification.

This is really helpful to have all of the info contained in the book in one source. From spanning sizes, cutting fluids, lubes, pitch diameters and so on it makes getting the job right very easy.
Pros
All of the info in a single source book. Nice size to store in tool cart, tool bag or in cargo pants pocket. Nice price also.

Great book for a pocket reference. Has a number of helpful charts and formulas in a much smaller book than a machinist handbook.
