A solid reference that covers numerous aspects of metalworking. Likely to get much more frequently used than the Machinery’s Handbook due to ease and convenience.

Pros
Excellent reference. Useful illustrations. Spiral binding.

Book arrived this morning and I've spent about 2 hours trying to some information that it HASN'T got. I'll not now need to buy an up-to-date version of the "much more expensive publication" that has been my bible for years

Cons
Haven't found any yet!

Very useful addition to the home workshop

August 4, 2020 By: Mark Young (Thame, United Kingdom)

Comments
It has all of the information I need on a daily basis without having something as big and unwieldy as the full machinists handbook

Pros
Its size and weight mean that I have it with me all of the time. The laminated pages that are easier to clean.

Cons
You can't have all of the information in a book of this size, it is an EDC, like a scale or multi-tool - its not supposed to do everything.

If you learn to go to this book before google (and apps) then it is not only a time saver but also an educational tool. It's informative enough to read for pleasure as well as use as a reference.

Pros
The Ultimate Reference Book
