Amazing

Pros
Book is extremely well organized, easy to use, and contains essential information for all kinds of projects. The book is made of very durable materials and should last a very long time

This book is amazing. As an apprentice I am going to get alot of use out of this however, I bought it thinking it would have cutting speeds and feeds for milling and bolt circle patterns which it doesn't include.

Fantastic book

January 24, 2024 By: Isaac (South Wentworthville, Australia)

Comments
It's a great little book, you can see that a lot of work and care has gone into its development.

Pros
Comprehensive reference guide for tooling, materials, geometry shortcuts, etc etc.

Cons
The book's QR code linking to this review page doesn't work! Also the book seemed expensive, but perhaps justified due to the high quality of colour print, grease-proof/plasticised pages, adhesive bookmark tabs, and free drill/tap size chart.
