General Comment

Pros

Cons


 

Great book for the apprentice, too.

March 27, 2019 By: Alberto Dotta (Florida, Uruguay)

Comments
It is a well structured book. The visual disposition of the concepts allows a better understanding of the different nomenclatures for bolts, nuts, mills, bits, taps, dies, inserts, toolholders, etc.

Pros
The information is accessed more quickly and is easier to understand than in other reference books.

Cons
Some pages (3 or 4) with some defect (slight blur of the print), but that does not make reading too difficult.
