Absolutely love the book but there is no mention in the workshop metals section of 5083 Aluminium. It is the most widely used aluminium here in WA, mostly in the marine industry.
Pros
I love everything about this book, it has all the important day to day information I could ever want (and some) for the home workshop and at work.
Cons
none :-)

Great compilation of charts and info. I am a hobby machinist and this is a great reference book for my home shop.
Pros
Lot and lots of info. Well organized. More info than I will ever need, but the stuff I do need and use is easy to find and use. Nice handbook size
Cons
Love the size of the book, but also makes the text small. Not really a con, just the way it is. I always use my safety reader glasses in the shop anyway, so not a big deal.

Hi Fredrik, The pages are tear proof so don't expect them to tear off the spine anytime soon! Thank you for your review.

Tough pages, really like the anti-glare coating, more information than I expected.

Would like to see cutting speed chart, based on material, type cutter for turning, milling and reaming, for carbide and HSS. The metal binder, took mine to the office supply store and had the binder replaced for spiral binding.
