Very handy reference to have for all manner of fabrication projects
Pros
Lots of useful charts. Easy to Navigate
Cons
I would prefer a book just a little larger. Welding isn't the easiest on the eyes and some of the charts are a little small.

Usefull and complete reference book it is handy to have it on the shop
What I would change for next revisions is to add a cut at the pages side with the category name (as a flenge but inside the book area) on it to quickly go to the topic you need
Pros
Cover the basic information for shop needs, compact, and good quality
Cons
If you are not used to the contents it can come difficult to find specific topic/data when you are in a rush
One important thing is missing basic welding data:classification of welding consumables,and base metals:carbon steels,alloy steels,aluminum,and more.the selection of the right consumable for a given material.
Very handy and lots of useful information

Very helpful reference for the machinist
Pros
Very comprehensive guide of identification and use of carbide inserts and their holders

Machine shop instructor: great teaching tool. So much more relevant and easy to use information than the "other" reference book.

Laminated grease-proof pages a definite plus. Much more durable.
Relevant to the point charts that are easy to read.
Love the drill point gage.
