Right Hand Man (Book)!

April 3, 2024 By: Ethan, Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, United States)

Comments
Incredible wealth of knowledge. Like having an experienced old timer by your side. I bought the book originally for the charts. It turned out to have so much more information like drill bit sharpening, lathe tips and tricks, plus so much more.

Pros
There’s a chart for everything!

Cons
I meant to get the small one and got the big one. Now I have to buy another one. I’m so angry (sarcasm).

Money well spent

Comments
I have been a machinist for the last 22 years. I purchased a first edition of this book going on 20 years ago, in that time I lost both the front and back covers, a couple of the index pages as well, but for almost daily use for nearly 2 decades i would say it held up pretty dang well. I decided it was time to buy a new one I'm glad I did.

Pros
I like that the pages are not shiny. It is much easier to carry around than the Machinery's handbook. After flipping through my new 3rd edition the section explanations are much better than in my 1st edition.

Cons
The grease proof pages do make it difficult find a pen that can make notes that do not easily smudge, this is only a very minor complaint.
 

Amazing book for every machinist.

None.

This book is great for apprentices

March 21, 2024 By: Bryce Miller (Victoria, Canada)

Comments
As an apprentice with so many different books to reference, this has so many things that help the learning process for quick ref. materials... not an end all be all book, but for somebody with constant questions to different things I'm trying to learn, it has most of my questions in an easy to read format.

Pros
Easy to read. Most of the information I currently need is there and has proven useful many times.

Cons
I didn't getbthe 10" book, but that's not a CON to this book itself.

Comments
It's great to have all this info in a small booklet that I can take anywhere !

 

A must have in every shop

March 9, 2024 By: Murray Kinson, GEM Engines (North Tamworth, Australia)

Comments
If everybody had one of these books, I’d be out of a job!

Pros
Contains absolutely everything you would ever need to know about basics in the workshop

Cons
Not really a con but I tried to write my name in the back with a pen, only to learn the pages are laminated so that any stains simply wipe off! Being heavy handed with a pencil sorted it out
 

Great!
