A must have guide, I often having young blokes coming in to my work to purchase a copy usually referred to by their old colleagues.
Decided to grab one myself to see for myself and am stunned at the level of practical information within such a small book.

EXCELLENT BOOK TO HAVE ON HAND

March 8, 2022 By: Jeff Mingle, Domestic Plumbing & Heating (Hollidaysburg , United States)

Way better than I expected

March 3, 2022 By: Daniel Evan Creager (Sanford, United States)

Comments
I own the Machinery's handbook and thought any other reference material would be unnecessary, I was wrong there is so much information in this and very elaborate pictures to help grasp the concepts

Pros
pictures to help guide you, Highly detailed explanations on concepts like tap measurements and how to find what you are looking for.

Cons
the page tab requires that we have a QR scanner on our phone, I don't have one so I have no way to reference the material.

Great book

February 22, 2022 By: engineer (College Park, United States)

Comments
Great book. Use it daily. Even fits in my back pocket (which is stupidly small because women’s clothing). Had this thing for five years and still going strong. Everyone at work wants one of their own after they saw mine.

Pros
- has pretty much everything you need
- pages have nice weight and are pretty stain proof
- durable
- lays flat

Cons
- the way the binding is done, if I try to access the pages in the back of the book they can fall out of the binding
- I wish the Tapping Drill Sizes for Thread Cutting Taps pages would include the nominal diameter for tapping and cutting drills instead of just the drill size. You can flip over to the Drill Size and Decimal Equivalent chart but it would be nice if it was all on the same page
 

Very useful

I only Speeds and Feeds were laid out a little different

 

Great resource

February 18, 2022 By: Daniel Kelly (Oneida , United States)

Comments
Info on inserts, metals, speeds/feeds, all the stuff you need. The paper resists tearing and you can handle it with dirty hands without ruining the pages.

 

Great reference book

February 17, 2022 By: Barry Davis, Home Hobbyist, Mfg Eng (retired). (14 Park Road, Byford Western Australia 6122, Australia)

Comments
Excellent book w/ 5 stars for Data, layout, binding, paper stock. The information is laid out in the manner it will be used. This is obviously a brilliant evolution driven by actual practicing Machinists and Engineers.

Pros
Suggestions: 1. Add First Aid instructions in front of to shop safety pages. 2. Add the "ABC's" of Fire Extinguishers. 3. Move SIN & TAN tables next to Trig' function pages. 4. Add the top 50 "G codes". 5. Add comment about the effect on magnetism when steel is heated to transformation range.

Cons
No cons, more suggestions for web site:
1. Sell an folding stand for large print book, ( for us FOG's ).
2. Sell a plastic slide rule (or rotary wheel) for feeds and speeds, (Niagara Cutters used to have one ?).
3. Sell a plastic slide rule (or rotary wheel) for Metric/Imperial conversions, (radio shack used to have one ?).
