Awesome resource for any apprentice or engineer

Full of useful information pertaining to all things engineering

Price is abit steep here in New Zealand but still well worth it

Great manual

Vary serviceable, like the drawings and details for a novice like my self, the sharpening of high speed steel tool bits, for instance

I find this book to be the only reference I need in the workshop.

drill and tap chart goes uver 25mm
layout is very clear and easy to navigate

Excellent resource to have on your desk or toolbox.

Even with the availability of internet resources, the distraction free delivery of extremely is quite helpful to have around! The little trig reminders, grinding wheel and thread standards are always excellent to have available for reference, as well as the standard tolerance for ensuring proper fit of your parts.

Nothing specific. The book does a really good job about keeping the information wide enough, but also concise enough that if it isn't covered to the extent you had hoped for, it gives you enough to go from in order to dive deeper into your own research.

Great reference to have in the workshop

Nice reference book, like the range of information

Good range of thread types.
Simple metric tapping drill size calculator = Major diameter - pitch

Please add a page of weld symbols, file cut types, surface finish for function and you could add common welding consumable grades for various materials

Amazing book, helped me straight through my apprenticeship and forward.

Small, easy to use and understand.

None that I can think of.

Excellent book to have on hand. Comparable to Machinery's handbook

Small size, quality, frequently searched information

Not many cons to think of

I have own all three of the Black Book collection, including the Fastener, Electrical and Engineers Black Book Collection. My interests expand numerous fields and these books are treasured reference books in my home library. I am yet to discover any other book collection that is so concise yet comprehensive. It is staggering how much effort the authors have put into this collection. An essential resource for the amateur or skilled person.

If only other areas could be explored and the collection expanded. But that may not be a good thing. For one can be a jack of all trades but a master of none.

Needed a book that covered everything from materials, speeds and feeds, lathe, mill, carbide tool heads, end mills, etc.!

Use it every day!

None. Price is worth it, and probably underpriced for the Par Rapp people. Love it!

Such a useful little book, has soo much information

Such a small book filled with so much useful information

The sticker tabs are a bit flimsy

The book is very well done. Has all the charts and information a hobbyist like me could want.

Lots of information in one place. Lots of charts and conversion tables. Excellent quality of paper used.

Maybe make it about 25% bigger or use a slightly bigger font.

All of the information is useful, though I wish there was more information on plastics due to the industry trends.

It has all of the information I could want for machining metals.

The plastics portion of the handbook is lacking. I feel with how common injection molding plastics are, there should be a section on tooling/processing thermoplastics.

As Opperations Manager my tasks and projects vary daily and the blackbook helps me make the right decisions for tool selections

Great range of usefull information

Could include the basic electrical information

Very useful, there's more than enough info I need and I'm still exploring this book.. I'm an apprentice and this book really helps..

Everything I need literally at my finger tips, no need to use a search engine and go through unnecessary links

The font can be a little bigger but it's not a big issue though.

Nice little book. More info than I will ever need

Great book, I'm an apprentice fitter/machinist and this has helped me out so much

Has all the information I need

Slightly bigger writing would be good but not a deal breaker

Very good book

Very good information and details for engineers

Slightly bigger font is recommended
