Perfect for quickly finding info that slipped my mind. Great to have in my tool box

Has everything I could ever need

Feel like the organization could be a little diffrent but that is based on personal preference

This is a great source of data for the machine shop.

Tons of useful data organized very well. The desktop version is readable without "cheater lenses" too. Big plus.

Would be nice to have more blank tabs.

Handy little tool to keep in your toolbox

Comes with a drill guage

Love this book. I'm an engineer and occasionally have to figure out some specs for our machinists/operators. This book is a great reference....and doesn't overwhelm people in the shop. Especially compared to bringing out my machinist handbook.

great

just wish i had the drill point gage....it would be VERY helpful!

Book that contains all useful information for the day on the working day! Small and handy! For now I'm not disappointed! It remains to be seen how he resists my intensive use (paper seems very resistant and good quality !)! For now it's has all my approval!

Little book, solid and well protected!

The installation of the stickers should have their page number to avoid mistakes!

Great book with tons of very helpful information .

Great material choice and it's in Color.

None

Very handy book to have on hand, and a great company to deal with.

durable construction, easy to clean if it gets dirty, and a lot of useful information

none so far

Very handy book, highly recommend.

Doesn't get dirty, all the essential information.

This is a good effort, only marked down as the advertising suggested [to me] that the drill gauge was included.

A great effort at a big field, nice touch including "standard people" p210.

Binding a bit tight. Possible inclusion of formulae for any regular polygon...
N = the number of sides, S = the length of each side, R = the radius of a circle through the points (circumscribed), r = the radius of the enclosed (inscribed) circle.
Where α=180/N, R=S/(2sinα) or r/cosα, S=2R x sinα or 2r x tanα, and r=(S x cotα)/2 or R x cosα would improve the content ?

Easy to read and find information as needed. Great for those just starting out to those who just need a quick reference for little used charts.

Wide ranging for multiple professions.
Teaches as well as informs.

Would like to see more information about hydraulics/coupling types etc.

Saves lots of time looking up info on google. Use this almost daily.

easy to read book

size

none so far

This book was better than I anticipated. The one thing I truly appreciate it is the Carbide Insert Applications page as it's not always easy to remember what inserts can do what type of machining and this section makes it virtually impossible to choose the wrong inserts.

Easy to Understand
Sturdy and made for the shop floor
A good selection of knowlege

Not as in depth as I would have liked

Book is so good I bought another after my 2nd edition fell apart.

Lots of useful information.

Non now the spine problem has been fixed.

This has to be the best Tech book I have purchased in a long time.The format is great.

Lays flat, Oil resistant pages, Contains info that can be hard to find in a web search

MAKE LIVE A LOT EASY USING THIS BOOK

EASY TO READ

NO CONS

I paid over R700 for this book, from the official distributor, and I just don't think I'll be turning to it very often. But we'll see.

It's compact, and covers a wide range of topics.

Sometimes information isn't easy to find online because you're not familiar with the terminology - the book form removes that obstacle.

If I was going to keep the book handy, there are several sections that are useful pocket references, like the conversion tables, the bending allowances, the speeds and feeds, etc.

It's lacking in both scope and depth. Take the metals comparison table, for example: Only 3 alloys of Al are mentioned, they're not named, and there's no reference to Young's Modulus, which is an essential design consideration. The "Plastics", "Solvents" and "Adhesives" sections seem to gloss over the topic - engineers need specifics as well as descriptions.

Some sections ("Brass" and "Adhesives") haven't been translated from gibberish to metric.

I'm never quite sure what's verbatim to a standard and derived from a standard, particularly regarding unit conversions.
