A Must have! Very useful in every situation at the workshop even when sharpening tools.you're unsure of something? For sure you will find the answer in the black book.
Pros
Found it very useful for when in doubt i have found all the answers. Despite full of data and it's size the information is read with ease.
Cons
Book is perfect no cons. Only I would prefer if the drill sharpening gage is made from stainless steel rather than aluminium so it would not be damaged from the twist drillls

Excellent reference but It's a shame that the tungsten carbide pages didn't have more manufacturers inclued in the pages Plansee ,Ceratizit ,Walter ,WNT
Pros
Excellent time saving on certain Conversions, tapping & Drilling charts, Dividing head Indexing tables
Cons
It Would be better if the Thread charts were included within this book too, would be nice to have some helicoil info too & possibly info on Milling cutters too, Pricey for size?

Thank you for a great addition to my library!

Non come to mind.
