Great engineering/machining reference

August 22, 2024 By: Steve, National Museums Liverpool (Liverpool, United Kingdom)

Comments
Now on to 3rd Ed of pocket Engineer’s Blackbook and even better than 2nd Ed. THE pocket reference for machining and general workshop engineering data and conversions. Although I don’t do a lot of new machining, this is a great reference for older inch/imperial sizes for restoration of old machinery & museum objects.

Pros
Ultimate pocket reference, clearly laid out and comprehensive. Easy access to information, especially with provided tabs.

Cons
Generally none… but if pushed I guess that although there is quite a lot of metric equivalents in the Inch version of the book, you’d probably need the Metric book for modern machining in U.K. & Europe. Would be great as a phone app.

Everything in one place

July 9, 2024 By: Mattias Jardeby (Grästorp, Sweden)

Comments
Bought the Swedish metric edition. Have only skimmed it so far, but it seems most stuff you need is there. Do recommend as a workshop companion to check feeds and speeds and other table data and details you haven't bothered storing in wetware.

Pros
Pages are covered with plastic so stains are removable.

Cons
A bit too small for my liking.
 

Recommend

July 6, 2024 By: Tyler (Buffalo, United States)

Comments
Very useful reference book to keep around when designing parts as well as when machining them.

Pros
It's a good size so you can easily carry it with you but not so small you can't read it easily.

Cons
The page tabs and books binding could be better.
