This book is a must have for an hobbyist or a machinist.
I don’t get why in other fields (electronics, chemistry, etc…) there are no similiar books to this one. I would buy them immediatly.

Great format and attention to the detail in each page layout and illustration.
The soft plastified pages are a pleasure to touch.
Few theory with only what you really need to use.

Some pages were sticked together but to be honest it was fun to unstick them while reading it for the first time.

Fantastic little book, but big on information.

Size, the paper that is used, ring binder

None

Awesome book, would be nice with some stress/ deformation ect.

Excellent book to reference and learn from

Great book

No cons

I consider this resource as a truly masterpiece, and a reference of mandatory consultation both in technical schools and in almost any industry. It's worth every dollar that I paid!!!

Despite including so much data at once, all the information is very well classified and ordered for consultation. The graphics and colors used make it very intuitive to understand.

N/A

A fantastic resource for a novice, DIY machinist! I have just started my hobby machining journey and this book has already provided so much information.

So much information in one consolidated location, that means I can leave Google behind and go 'old school' and enjoy easily looking data up in a single reference. Very easy to locate and read layout throughout the book.

I'm yet to find any!

Great size

Nearly all required info in an easy to grab place

Missing drill gauges

A fantastic source of commonly needed information, dimensions and specifications in a workshop setting.

Easy to carry around, durable design, an abundance of information.

Not enough pre-labelled self-adhesive tabs, needs more information for heavier thickness of sheet metal (10mm, 12mm, 16mm), needs some pages on properties of SHS and RHS to go with properties of tube and bar, along with information on larger sizes and differing wall thicknesses.

Very impressed with the product quality. This is a very informative book and I find it invaluable.

Easy to use, informative, invaluable.

Really handy having the sticker tabs for the large book attached to locate each heading.

Great book, I have other titles in the Black Book range

A bit pricey, but these were bought on company funds.

Page 224 fastener 1st edition, M12 metric fine should be 1.25 instead of 1.75

Great book, I also have the large and small Engineers' black book

A bit pricey, but these were bought on company funds.

Fantastic book with plenty of information for both designing parts as well as manufacturing, both fabrication and machining.

I make most use of the speeds/feed and SFM sections of the book, great that the relevant formulas are included as well for more niche cases. The tolerances section is also great for design, and the GD&T helps greatly remembering the symbols. Appreciate the materials section, for both metals and plastics, as well as the adhesives, great information.

Speeds/feeds for HHS/carbide end mills and lathe cutting tools would be great, additionally a section on welding may be a fantastic addition, though it would probably make for a thick book.

Love these books

Super handy

They need more copies for other avanues

Still getting used to it, but I can see it will be used more that Machinerys Handbook.

+1 on the page treatment

1) In SPANNER SELECTION CHART put a footnote that "A/F" is Across Flats. Obvious once you think of it, but had me stumped at first.

2) ER collets in Tpaers section, but no 5C?

Excellent

Easy to understand, very well organized, and the tabs that can be added are very helpful for quick indexing.

None that I can think of
