My Bible

February 25, 2022 By: Benjamin Wood, Raw materials (YARRAVILLE, Australia)

Comments
It's used at least once daily, best money one could spend

Pros
Everything

Cons
Nothing
 

tons of information

February 22, 2022 By: Paul a Cote Sr, Home shop (Lewiston, United States)

Comments
Has pretty much what i need

Pros
like that plastic on the pages

Cons
could use more information about thrust bearing
 

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 ?).

👍

February 7, 2022 By: garrettT., Garrettteed Quality (Livermore Falls, United States)

Comments
A terrific resource

Pros
Fits in back pocket. Handy to have at the drafting deck and in front of the mill!

Cons
Perhaps because I'm new to industry. My initial thought is "how could there be any?" My second thought is. "Wouldn't it be neat to do/have a page for page video lesson of the entire book." With indepth, real life circumstances/training.

January 20, 2022 By: Bill (Milford, United States)

Comments
easy to find information, like the included tabs.

Pros
a lot of great reference information, at a fraction of the price of other reference manuals (you know the one)

Cons
still new, but unsure if the wire binding will stand up in the long run
