I heard about this book on tik tok and had to get one. Can't wait to dive in and look through it.
Pros
Neat pocket sized. Anything you can think of is in the book. Excellent printing, a very professional looking book. For leaving a website review I will be sent 2 charts which I am very grateful.
Cons
I was hoping it came with a free drill point sharpening gauge but it didn't.

I received this book as a gift and look forward to really diving in to it. I'm always looking up formulas(ae?) at work, often for metal cutting. It will be helpful to have this resource at an arm's reach!
Pros
The coating on the pages is great for a dirty environment. I also appreciate the focus on metal cutting information.
Cons
I wish the tabs had inked lines where the designers intended for them to go. I would like to have them, but I'm too picky to try and space them myself and have them look good.

This book is the sharpest tool in my shop
July 20, 2021

Comments
This book has guided me through every operation on my machine tools, helped me choose the best tooling for the shop, select fasteners and dimension the workpiece to accept them, the list goes on and on. It has been the foremost reference source in my learning journey.
Pros
A complete reference book for all workshop and engineering needs.
Full of sizing charts, reference tables, conversion tables and pictorial explanations of common engineering components and practices.
Bomb proof pages, grease proof and tear-proof.
Opens flat on the table.
Fits in your pocket, bag or toolbox.
Cons
Could use a more comprehensive heat treatment section, especially for hardening common tool steels used for tooling in the workshop.
