Great resource! Lives on my desk at all times.

Easy to read, Accurate information!

As I am only an apprentice and new to fitting and turning, at first glance this book has an overwhelming g amount of information in it. As yet I don’t have much use for majority of the info in this book but I’m sure I will in time.

Packed with info, good quality construction of book. Lots of useful conversions and equivalence charts and info for drilling.

Don’t know what most of the stuff in this book is yet hahaha

Very useful

Having all this information in one spot

This reference is incredibly well thought out.
It is complete and comprehensive while being concise with just the information you want at a glance.

Well organized, and planned right down to the pages being coated to be grease proof so you can actually use it in the shop with out messing it up.

Not really a fault, but as my work teeters between metric and imperial I would love an offering for a single reference containing both.

Excellent reference for the workshop

Easy to find info

None

Love this book helps out understanding everything you need to know

I got all three of these books

None

Klipp ur del av bladen i samma indelning som de olika kapitlen. Det skulle göra det otroligt mycket enklare att hitta den information man söker.

Very useful book, very well done and usable in shop environment. Highly recommended!

Lot of useful infos right on the hands!

The pocket version littlest characters maybe a little challenge for old eyes ;-)

Great handy book well thought out and easy to understand.

Easy to understand
Informative
That there is more books like this I can buy

No cons

Easy to use

Tabs are helpfull

Not enough tabs for every section

Hole class sizes, metal and plastic explanations (why which is better for what application), and GD&T references are excellent.

First thing I turn to whenever I get something a bit out of my normal work. It's never let me down.

Full of helpful information.

None.

Being in engineering for the last 30 years, and having made about 15 steam engines, in the UK we have the Zeus book, and various other publications, from people like dormer etc. This book has the LOT in one place, no need now for many (greasy) books.

Clear, well written and easy to use.

For those of us in the UK, who live in a metric world, but sometimes (actually frequently) have to source things from the US, who do stuff in inches, it would help if the carbide insert nomenclature was repeated alongside the metric nomenclature. I appreciate this would add more pages but its useful for those in countries who sadly no longer have a toolmaking industry. Send me the extra pages as a PDF if you like.

The black book is amazing, I just wish it had joinery methods/ stresses of joinery methods for wood in it. (As seen on pg. 164 for plastics adhesive) It isn't used much, but it is needed to ensure that the book is the best.

Incredibly thorough.

Not much.

Great overall guide to have in any shop with a lot of good refernece info.

Good variety of info in one place

Non yet

Good range of information

Some information hard to find.Metric version should have more ISO standards referred to

Everything I need is here

Very good book

Alot of good facts for the machine shop

No info on socket head cap screws

Concise set of information

Great sections on drill geometry and lathe tool bits
Also info on different types of fits

Would like to see more information on feeds and speeds for various types of operations, e.g. drill, ream, turn, face, knurl, center drill, mill ...
