Quality concern

March 15, 2023 By: Trent Powell (Fayetteville, United States)

Comments
The information in this book is great, which is why it’s so concerning that the quality is not great. The pages in my book are not all bound at the same length so it leaves some random sections protruding more than others and makes closing the book more complicated as the pages do not want to close upon one another. I also have two index pages that must’ve been wrinkled in the process because the bottom 1/8 of the page is almost illegible from a heavy crease that cannot come out. I would rate this a 5/5 if the quality was there but how can this book explain how to manufacture quality when it cannot even hold itself to the same standard?

Pros
Great information
Good reference with nicely laid out tables
Awesome page markers that make it easy to find commonly used sections

Cons
Quality control of the book makes me wonder how fragile to treat the book, thus making it hard to take with me in the shop without it falling apart.
 

Best pocketbook I've seen so far

March 14, 2023 By: Mathias (Odense, Denmark)

Comments
Love the size for a pocketbook with this many directly useful formulas, conversion charts, tools, etc.. Having recently finished studying mechanical engineering, this is a must have to remember a lot of information.

Pros
Neatly organized with useful information that can be directly used in conversations with production workers to make projects easier and more convenient.

Cons
Could use a book on fluid dynamics and hydraulic components.
 

Most convenient and detailed book

Comments
Best book to reference to when designing and maching parts for transfer dies.

Pros
Easy to find any topic given the content page. Drill chart comes in very handy while sharpening drills

 

The best you can get

March 6, 2023 By: Huib Hoogendoorn (Gorinchem, Netherlands)

Comments
I was very surprised about the quality of the book, what a solid and extensive reference work, also for the aspiring hobby engineer.
As a comment and/or addition, I have the following: the many comparisons with the inch dimensions are superfluous for a metric user, of course I do not order a metric edition for nothing. Of course I also understand the reasons for this, but it is unnecessary luxury in my eyes.
However, in addition to the tab layouts, it is possible that more blank tab indications can be added, each user can then fill in the tab indications in his own language and thus possibly find the information a little more clearly. The barcode for scanning is a very handy tool.
That concludes my comments and I look forward to receiving your drilling chart (hopefully in metric).
