quite handy to have in the shop.

Has stuff that Google won't find any more (the GOOG has become a land of clickbait and embedded ads; too many sites now make you create an account just to see something as simple as a tap drill table - this book is all meat and no adverts.

Could use a G-code summary, copper wire ampacity, and polar graph paper and log graph paper pages

It's so hard to find general information and charts for inserts or turning tools in one place. Everyone has specific ones for their tools but not generic information if you have tools of every shape and color under the sun. Having all this info with real depicted representations makes it so easy to finally identify everything with all the serial numbers being gone ages ago.

Easy to read and full of applicable and invaluable information.

I got the pocket sized version and I love it. I appreciate how you can add tabs to the sections you find relevant with the included stickers. I rely on googling for a lot, but for some things, it's so much easier to look at a book.

Well designed, easy to read, good illustrations

Spiral bound which is nice to lay flat, but sometimes isn't as durable.

Great Book

Full of info

No cons

Keep finding things that I didnt know I needed to know. I know.....

Packed with info small enough to carry in your pocket(Almost).

No direct welding information. Symbols, weld diagrams, etc.... Not even a con, really.

I’ve had this book since I was an apprentice in the early 80’s. Been a very handy resource.

Robust construction and convenient to throw in the tool box or drawer.

Hasn’t got all the information I might like to have, in particular welding, but I guess it would be encyclopaedic size if it had everything.

More information than I could ever hope to fully use. Covers all topics related to engineering in a broad scale. Leaves no stone unturned

Incredibly in-depth book regarding every engineering subject

I bought this book for drill speeds and drill/tapping size.
So pleased I get a free taping chart.
Thanks. However I only found that page at the back of the book with that info by accident while looking for contact details, so I could write and ask for permission to get a PDF or other printable copy of the drill speed chart and the tapping size chart so I could print and laminate to put on the wall of my new workshop.
I have been unable to find a printable drill speed chart anywhere including online.
So could I get the PDF of page 56

The pages are coated so my dirty hands won't mess them up. A wet cloth cleans them and they dry perfect.

Compact

I am not an engineer, but do work which requires the relevant information contained in these books, so I've purchased one pocket size as well as a giant print.

Excellent Layout and Format, easy to understand, comprehensive in detail.

Awesome book, I had the 2nd edition and lost it, and was lost without it. Super easy to read, and stays by my side at all times now. Brilliant job compiling the info. Thanks for another great edition

Easy to read, easy to keep clean, reference tabs. Just overall easy!!

Sticker bookmarks are handy.
