My son was required to get this for his engineering apprenticeship. Decided to have a look at this book and amazed at the amount of helpful information is in it for my projects I do at home.

Great book

Excellent reference material
Handy size for the overalls pockets

No drill gauge 😢

It’s good I like it a lot, very helpful

Full of knowledge, handy to have around, small and compact

Handy as

Is super convenient

Needs to still include stainless steel drill gauge

Your chart that you send out has the wrong size listed. It says “when folded out 420.00mm (16.54 inches) High x 2979.40mm (11 inches) Wide” it appears that the correct width is meant to be 279.4 and not 2979.40mm. This I confirmed by converting 11 inches to mm.

It’s good I like it a lot, very helpful

Full of knowledge, handy to have around, small and compact

Great book has everything you could need

Love that the pages are waterproof and that it comes with tabs for your pages

Wish it still came with the drill gauge

Wonderful gift that I received a few years ago, and have shown every single engineer that I have worked with.

Small and easy to put in a backpack

I wish there was a small fastener equivalent chart. And more information about fasteners

Useful for new mature apprentices who what reliable information in the workplace

Great size, Well informative

3d edition doesn't come with a drill gauge

Great book

Great info

None

Great resource for the workshop

Easy to find what you're looking for

Needs a list of page numbers for the tabs to go on

I’m a hobby home shop machinist and I literally use this book every time I’m in my shop!

Usually drill bit and tap info, speeds and feeds and end mill selection.

Would like to see information on chucking reamers with drill bit sizes and dies and types, and gage pins.

Another awesome black book that's super easy to reference. I use this book all the time, I love it!

Easy to reference and small enough to keep readily available.

Includes tabs to put on pages for quicker reference, but includes a QR code to see what pages they go on. Just include the list with the sticky tabs guys!

Prompt delivery upon ordering. I really enjoy the format of this book. Very handy. It’s well put together, sturdy pape. It contains a huge wealth of practical information for any engineer and or machinist. I have spend a number of hours, just going through the many pages to get a feel for all its content.

I like the little tabs that you can add yourself

Easy-to-use reference book. Beautifully made. I like the lay-flat format.
More than comprehensive enough for my uses as a DIY petrol head and hobby machinist, making his own tools and model engines

None I can think of yet

Just starting my journey in the hobby sphere of machining

Easy to quickly refer back to.

None discovered as of yet.

At first sight this looks like an ideal workshop replacement for my existing collection of references.

The lay-flat feature is a great idea, albeit difficult to implement in practice.
I appreciate the option of the large version for greater legibility.

The user-installable tabs are useful but the selection is not comprehensive eg none for thread tapping sizes; would it be possible to supply blank tabs for completion by the user?
Not clear how you would write on the grease-proof blank pages and it would be nice if extra pages were available for later insertion.

hi I have gone to do some cnc machining and have noticed there is no G-codes or M-codes in the new 3rd edition engineers black book. I have looked back on a work colleges 1st edition engineers black book and it is in there, which I find werid as cnc machines are becoming more and more common. Being a new edition book I thought it should have it in there.

awesome book! super helpful for everything.

has no G-code or M-codes for cnc machining

Even after a year there is always something new to learn.

So much useful information.

I find the print size to be small for my aging eyes.

Really good

I think a galvanic corrosion chart with the potential difference between metals would be a great addiction to this book. And it would be awesome to have some general formulas for strength calculations of beams etc.

I love the black book really great!

I’m missing the galvanic corrosion chart
