Everything you want and more! Factual, compact and great quality. Valuable resource.
Pros
Fits in anywhere, quick reference and a trusty source to have around.
Cons
Font is a bit tiny but I would’nt change it. Maybe have an option for a bigger font size in a bigger book?
Great Resource

Very Handy Reference Book
Pros
Laminated pages, lay flat spiral bound. Lots of info not included in other references such as O-ring sizes, machine tapers, toolholder and insert identification.
Cons
None really.
There were some stainless alloys missing I use. I suppose everyone would like one more thing or another and it would wind up three times as thick.
Minor typo, extra space noticed in page 209 large operator height inch dimension 74.0_2"
Fantastic Quick Reference

Fantastic reference for stashing just about anywhere
Pros
Valuable resource for quick look ups of all the stuff we forget. I have two goto references, Machinery Handbook and the Black Book. Black Book is quicker for most everyday usage. Love the wipe off pages. I recommend this book as a reference to others all the time.
Cons
For older eyes, a bit tiny. Wish there was an option for one a bit bigger. It would be worth the extra $$. Wish there was a bigger section on plastics and types. Correlating recycle symbols with type and characteristics (e.g the triangle with number in the center).
Dense with information - super durable

Just received this book and the fastener book. Both have a good spread of relevant content, well presented.
Pros
Good format clear and concise. Handy toolbox size and plasticised.
Cons
The stick-on tabs will be less durable than colour coding the page margins for different sections. On pages 112/113, Bearings, could the advice on bearing mounting and removal be condensed and more information given on bearing codes and tolerance markings.
Great service

Item received in rural Western Australia in a few days from ordering. Great service.
Pros

Fantastic book with most info to hand with a simple index.
Pros
Contains nearly everything you will ever need to know. Index is very simple to follow and the drill bit shaping gauge is perfect.
Cons
I feel that speeds and feeds could be covered more for different metals.
Very good

A great quick reference to almost anything machining related, and the large-print edition is very easy to read.
Pros
Book is nicely printed and bound and easy to navigate and read. It's Machinery's Handbook when you don't have the time or need to wade through thousands of pages of details.
Cons
None so far.

If you are interested in Machining, this is a “Must Have” book
