The most often used information distilled down for the Machinery's Handbook, in one small, easy to use, lay flat package.

Affordable considering whats inside this little gem, easy to find the information, made with nice quality materials. Lays flat so the pages don't flip on you while using the info you just found.

Small print size for older, well used, machinist eyes

As an aspiring Fitter and Turner, it was a fantastic handy book to refer too for all my general tapping and thread cutting and various other projects/jobs

Easy to read, clearly set out, great diagrams

I wish to purchase some others of the black book series

GREAT BOOK. Love it. For starters and beginners. Has many answers to my questions. Can read/look-up for hours in spare time. Very nice pocket size.

could the same book be available (at a new price?) in a
much larger version !!
One small for on the road/pocket size, and another much larger for readable details/tables (without reading glasses) as a 'cooking-book' . You already made the nice large tables for on the wall, but sometimes you need other pages.
Thanks. the book is one of my favorites

The perfect addition to any machinist's work station or engineer's desk. It has a wide spread of information that will be incredibly valuable and save some time not having to look it up in old textbooks, etc. The section about identifying carbide cutters alone is worth the whole book for me! It'll have a section for everyone.

HUGE spread of information.
Very nice sturdy pages.
Easy to read, easy to find the information you need.
Great size for keeping close to you as you go from the shop to the desk.

none

As a hobbyist , I am constantly looking for resources that help me to understand the terminology and best practices when operating these machines. The Engineer's Black Book not only contains an excellent collection of charts and tables but also provides explanations of how to apply this information appropriately such as how to set up a sine bar or properly sharpen a drill bit. I learn something new every time I open it.

Clear and Concise
Durable and stain resistant
Covers a huge range of topics

Print is occasionally difficult to read for these old eyes

This book has a wealth of useful information. I can't believe it's taken me so long to find it.

The materials used are hard wearing and should last a lifetime.

In my opinion this book has no cons

This is one of the best books to have in the box. Plenty of information that is easy to find and use. Covers a lot from math and formulas to shapes of carbide inserts, toolholders, keyways, and much more

Information is at your fingertips in nice pages. Color depictions of carbide inserts, heat ranges and more. Includes tips on tool bit sharpening, threading info on basically any type threads plus much more

The only thing that maybe a problem is in some areas the print size is a little small

Has a lot of the general and anvanced information required for my trade, awesome book
