Amazing amount of info in one book!

Has everything I need.

Packed full of useful information! Very good quick reference for machinists in the shop. From basic tap and drill reference and formulas for machining. Use it everyday.

None!

What a book! To the point, LOADS of i formation and the best part is the way it is printed! It is done so well. I have a few reference books like this and all of them usually are slow to find info…. Not EBB, it is a FAST reference and the info also can be read fast. The colors in the charts are what make it pop! I will buy the others books when im ready. I want them all.

Find stuff fast. Charts are done very clearly, colors Coordination and highlighting is done very effectively. Provided “quick reference tabs” for the pages are great!

Wish there were a few more blank “page tab sticker things” to do custom labels.

Has every chart you should need!

Lots of helpful information on identifying tooling

Didn’t see any charts to identify bearings.. might be in another book

Been hobby machining for a few years now and all self taught. Having all the information that's in this book right at my fingertips has helped immensely.

There is a lot of information in this book, it's fairly easy to read and it's laid out quite well IMO. The pages are super durable. The included quick tabs are fantastic for being able to quickly get to the pages I use most often.

None that I can see

Iv used this book along and found it very handy. Lots of greate information

I have been in the engineering field for 35 years, during that time I have collected many notes and charts. I found the Engineers Black Book was a one stop collection of data to replave my many notes.

Excellent book. High quality printing, convenient size, very useful.



Has every table you could ever want. Fully metric. Fully coloured. Completely fantastic book.

I wish the table on page 173 for the tungsten carbide rotary burrs would list the materials in "Uses" in a consistent order.

First entry lists "copper and brass", second entry lists "brass and copper" (among others), would have been nice if they had been sorted alphabetically, or if they are currently sorted in some kind of order (such as most to least suitable material), that it is made apparent.

I spotted one typo as well, but completely inconsequential and does not impact the meaning.

Neither of these things are sufficient to give this book anything other than five stars.

Excellent book in an easy to read format.

The workshop size is great

Pages are durable, cover a lot of topics, clearly laid out and explained

None

Great book

Excellent workshop tool

Great for everyday use

Can’t put it down

Excellent book for any tradesman

Unbelievable amount of information

Can’t put it down

I have just started learning how to do machining at 60 as a retirement hobby. This book has enabled me to understand so many things, for example what Carbide tip nomenclature means, types of material , speeds and feeds. Best idea I have had in a while to buy this.

Small, very high quality paper/production, easy to leave on the shelf next to the lathe as a reference book.
I bought the "inch" version even though I live in a metric country because I would like to build a few model stationary steam engines and they are typically all imperial. But this book has so much information in metric it really does not matter. Thank you.

None found so far

Very thorough book, I’m early in machining but a lot of good information already.

Color, good descriptions, easy to carry

None so far

Ideal for assisting with apprentice training

Small and informative, with durable paper

Great to refer back to for most measurements and quick calculations.

Easy to use

None

How i have ever worked without this book is beyond me, only a hobby machinest but time and time again i can reach for this book knowing i can find the exact information i need.

Dirt and oil resistant paper !!!

Very useful tool to have and reference against.
