I've been looking forward to obtaining a copy of this book from the moment I knew of it's existence. It lives up to the expectations. From the quick referencing of formulae and tolerances to the grading of steels and their compositions.

The whole book is a pro

Great book

Lots of information

Wish they had speeds and feeds of inserts for machining

Great information,wish I had this years ago

Easy to navigate

Great little book

Small pocket sized

This is hands down the best quick reference guide I could find as a student in Mechanical Engineering. This is so useful for engineers, machinists, and fabricators. I'll be looking at the other black books to supplement this.

Well made, saves trying to google stuff on phone in work shop and navigate the dross

Good size

Pages need guide marks for index tabs

This book was fantastic as a reference book for me to complete my studies as an engineer. And became a cruitical tool in the toolbox as I manufactured and restored cars and equipment.

Very easy to read layout

Great read and full of very usable and easy to dissect

Great useful information

None

Great book easy to read

Easy to read, well set-out

time consuming putting on all place markers

Sturdy, well designed, tons of information.

Great illustrations, excellent content, must have book.

Pages stick on the binding.

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.

None

Excellent reference book for general and machine shop use

Large format print version easy to read
Thick and soil resistant pages a real plus
Clear and concise information, tables and charts

None

Very Useful

Handy

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

None

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
