Fantastic quick reference

November 19, 2023 By: Jamie (Glasgow, United Kingdom)

As an engineer I find it full of excellent quick reference info whether at the desk or in the workshop .

Pros
Broad variety of info. Has standards referenced on most things and includes less common thread info etc.

Cons
Doesn't have premachine diameter for external threading with a die, or the formula.

Comments
Great reference guide and educational booklet for all things metal workshop
Concise and to-the-point

Pros
Has all the information you need to either get the job done, or give you direction to do more research

Cons
It would be nice to have access to an electronic version which is much easier to search using keywords. I do understand that there are issues around copyright /abuse - but for those of us that have the laptop open constantly looking at references, it would be amazing!

Has been extremely helpful both in classes and in the industry and in person projects

Must-have for Engineers or Machinists

August 31, 2023 By: Corey Montgomery, Axelgaard Manufactuing Co., LTD. (Menifee, United States)

Comments
Great pocket-reference for engineering professionals or machinists. I never come to work without it.

Pros
Tons of easy-to-navigate information and reference charts.

Cons
Included adhesive section tabs become brittle and break. Wire book spine can crush and has begun to open up allowing pages to come unbound. Bug was laminated into one of the pages.
