Excellant quick source of reference. Once I started using it. It stays on my desk.

Lots of useful information in one little book. Easy to use and reference. Use it on a daily basis.

Pros
Compact, laminated, spiral bound, has all the "good stuff" plus more!

Could include more info on certain sections but almost everything is covered good. Depends on how technical you want to get.

Great Quick Reference

May 21, 2014 By: Red, RedHed Tech (Miami, United States)

Comments
An excellent quick reference for all kinds of engineering and machining tasks. Lots of good information.

Pros
Greasy fingerprints wipe off easily. Nice detailed carbide insert designation chart. Well made... Seems like it will last awhile.

Cons
Need expanded speeds and feeds for milling and turning comparable to machinery's handbook.
 

Great book to have as an engineer

March 14, 2014 By: Brandon (Ottawa, Canada)

Comments
I mostly bought the book for the drill sharpening gauge that comes with it as it's the best one I've found, but the book is truly fantastic. Since I received the book I often find myself sitting down with it just to flip through the pages. The book is quite fascinating and a great pocket reference.

Pros
Laminated pages allow for easy cleaning and protection from grease, water etc.
Drill sharpening gauge
Small in size
Metal spine allows the book to lay flat or flip completely open

Cons
Made in China
Not easily accessible - had to order online which added additional costs for shipping
Some of the diagrams can be hard to interpret
 

A must have

November 8, 2013 By: Hugh, Student (Greensboro NC, United States)

Comments
Great everyday reference.

Pros
Spiral lets book lay flat. Laminated for protection from the environment. Lots of good easy to read charts and illustrations. Pocket size. Drill point gauge pocket, to keep them together.

Cons
I find myself wanting to have more information in the book, but cannot think of anything to add.
