February 1, 2019 By: Neil King (Chalfont St Peter, United Kingdom)

Comments
Contains almost everything needed in a handy size

Pros
Size and ring binding

Cons
The binder punching caused many pages to be almost glued together so took ages to separate them without tearing.

Would like to see a little more info on heat treating: specific temperatures and covering other metals.

ENGINEERS BLACK BOOK 3RD ED (INCH)

January 30, 2019 By: Regis WACHEUX, VISHAY (EVERE, Belgium)

Comments
Great and very practical book. Well organized.

Pros
Tables have contrasted colors and are easilly viewed in different light environements. Laminated pages are strong enough to be durable and light enough to be practical to use.
I like especially the summaries on the screws, threads, tapers, and the conversion tables which are rapid to find.

Cons
I miss a summary table showing the norms and the page it refers to (for example, SAE AS-568A / O-Rings / Pages 94-95)

V-Belt Pulley Dimensions

January 21, 2019 By: Mark Plukas (Franklin, United States)

Comments
Great Compendium of useful daily information

Pros
Concise, clear, pretty complete.

Cons
I was hoping there would be a v-belt pulley dimensions guide. I see the general info but nothing about the dimensions needed for various pulley geometries. Perhaps not something needed on a daily basis and therefore omitted.
 

Excellent quality material, lads
