Tonnes of info in a small book

Its got everything!

There is none

good book. handy info

amazing reference book

have to put bookmark tabs manually

Very good book full of handy information.

Very easy to navigate and find information

Excellent reference book. Extremely handy. Well planned and layer out

The spiral/spring binding could be a bit better. It causes the pages to be a little difficult to turn

I’m a first year apprentice fitter and this book has helped me get out of trouble many times

Looks to be a great resource. The pocket edition font size very very small. Gave it a 4 star because of the font.

Well done, Very useful and colorful.

Font size very disappointing, Website makes it appear much larger. Will need to purchase the large format edition.

Good pocket size, useful data

I am a recent grad in a design/mechanical engineering role - this is a handy book that I reference every day!

What a great book

Quick reference and easy to navigate

AWESOME BOOK. USE IT EVERY DAY

THE PAGES DONT GET WET

I bought this book based on a YouTube recommendation from abom79. I wanted to start using insert tooling and this book has it down to science. For all inserts lathe, boring, milling, threading everything. Soo much information laid out very plain and easy to read and understand. And the quality of the book is great too the pages don’t rip easily and I can wipe the grease off them. This booK is just wow, I can’t say enough good about it. Thank you!

See above, book has plenty of reference material, pages can be wiped off.

None

This is a great general shop and field reference and is a grate pair with the pocket/desk reff. This has more machining and manufacturing information.

-lots of metric/imperial conversions
-boiled down macheing data (insert tooling guide, simple thread cutting data)
-

-none

Invaluable tool for anyone performing engineering duties 👌

This book has everything an entry level engineer needs to succeed.

Includes charts and tables describing all the necessary conversions to make hand calculations faster and more efficient. Don't have to spend timing scouring the web to find one dimension when the book has easy labels to flip too and find what you need.

Ideal size for the home shop . Would recommend!

Great size for the home/hobby shop. Coated pages resist staining.

The content seems randomly placed in the book as opposed to having specific sections dedicated to related topics which makes searching for information more tedious. Related to organization, I appreciate that the manufacturer included content tabs but having more blank tabs would have been nice to have.

Good engineering reference book with lots of good information

Easy to read and very workshop friendly, page easy to clean and stay open on the page you are using. It will cover most of your workshop needs. I live in england and we use both the metric and imperial systems here so the both sets of information and conversion charts are very useful

No information on welding, for types of setting for different material and thinkness.

Excellent book from a fabrication standpoint

- Great for engineers, designers and machinists that have a focus on fabrication. I have used this for fabrication drawings and this is very easy to navigate and use.
- Useful introduction to metal fabrication for hobbyists and home projects, especially if you have a metal lathe
- Lots of practical and useful information on how to manufacture, general material specifications and metalworking techniques
- Great shop alternative to Machinery's Handbook - small, tough construction, lay flat design, etc.
- Note pages are handy

-Limited fastener and thread information, but I suppose if you do enough of this you can get the fastener black book
-Some information is antiquated (sin, cos and tangent charts can be done on a cheap calculator or cell phone app instead)
-Some redundancy on topics
-Would be nice if a page or two of general science or simple engineering equations were incorporated for engineers and designers using this book
