Brilliant accompaniment to Machinery's handbook. Brings all the updated specs and modern tooling.
Pros
The section on Carbide tips etc is invaluable and the drill point gauge is the easiest i have used. Excellent.
Cons
I wish i had known about this fabulous book years ago !

Super range of information, the best that I've come across in this handy format.
Pros
"Plastic" paper, lay flat format, colour, much easier to read in bed than Machinery's Handbook!
Cons
Perhaps a small section on files, reamers and measuring instruments would be useful.

Such an easy to use reference book compared to machinerys handbook .
Pros
Well laid out ,concise , compact size , grease proof pages and when you lay it on the bench it stays on the page you were looking at . They come with some handy gauges depending on which one you buy .
Cons
Would like to see model engineers thread data in the book , other than that i can't fault it.
If my suppliers here in Sydney had one or these tied to the sales counter so i could see what is inside i would have bought all three books years ago and i would say so would many others . i bought them because a youtube video from Bruce Whitham he went through them and showed the contents , you can't judge a book by its cover and can't look inside if it is plastic wrapped!
very helpful..........
