I heard about this book on tik tok and had to get one. Can't wait to dive in and look through it.
Pros
Neat pocket sized. Anything you can think of is in the book. Excellent printing, a very professional looking book. For leaving a website review I will be sent 2 charts which I am very grateful.
Cons
I was hoping it came with a free drill point sharpening gauge but it didn't.

I received this book as a gift and look forward to really diving in to it. I'm always looking up formulas(ae?) at work, often for metal cutting. It will be helpful to have this resource at an arm's reach!
Pros
The coating on the pages is great for a dirty environment. I also appreciate the focus on metal cutting information.
Cons
I wish the tabs had inked lines where the designers intended for them to go. I would like to have them, but I'm too picky to try and space them myself and have them look good.
