Essential for engineering work

Most things you need to shortcut your work

Engineering fits could be expanded

Super useful for the shop and for design! Use it a bunch for both internships and project teams in university.

A great reference book for the Workshop

Great for keeping clean

More info on use of tables

Incredible wealth of knowledge. Like having an experienced old timer by your side. I bought the book originally for the charts. It turned out to have so much more information like drill bit sharpening, lathe tips and tricks, plus so much more.

There’s a chart for everything!

I meant to get the small one and got the big one. Now I have to buy another one. I’m so angry (sarcasm).

Great book, has helped me a lot getting through my apprenticeship.

I have been a machinist for the last 22 years. I purchased a first edition of this book going on 20 years ago, in that time I lost both the front and back covers, a couple of the index pages as well, but for almost daily use for nearly 2 decades i would say it held up pretty dang well. I decided it was time to buy a new one I'm glad I did.

I like that the pages are not shiny. It is much easier to carry around than the Machinery's handbook. After flipping through my new 3rd edition the section explanations are much better than in my 1st edition.

The grease proof pages do make it difficult find a pen that can make notes that do not easily smudge, this is only a very minor complaint.

Highly recomended for any machine shop to have.

Pages are very resisstant to dirt and oil, very pleasent to use.

None.

An amazing timesaver, having all this information at your fingertips.

A very handy and perfect sized guide book

Easy to use in the shed whilst working

None

Perfect reference book for the shop floor or studying for Machinist Redseal exam!

Nice to have the carbide insert info

Haven't found any yet!

Great information and very useful for my current job, always handy to have a range of knowledge within the palm of your hand

Brilliant book helping me along the way whilst learning the basics of milling and turning.

Saves lots of time looking up data from lots of different places

None so far

It’s been so helpful throughout my apprenticeship

Easy to read and understand

Easy to read and understand

As an apprentice with so many different books to reference, this has so many things that help the learning process for quick ref. materials... not an end all be all book, but for somebody with constant questions to different things I'm trying to learn, it has most of my questions in an easy to read format.

Easy to read. Most of the information I currently need is there and has proven useful many times.

I didn't getbthe 10" book, but that's not a CON to this book itself.

It's great to have all this info in a small booklet that I can take anywhere !

If everybody had one of these books, I’d be out of a job!

Contains absolutely everything you would ever need to know about basics in the workshop

Not really a con but I tried to write my name in the back with a pen, only to learn the pages are laminated so that any stains simply wipe off! Being heavy handed with a pencil sorted it out

Filled with lots of usefull info!

Good size.

None

Fantastic go-to for machine shop and aircraft maintenance work. Replaced folders of reference materials.

Wide range of information.

None yet.

This is a must for any machine/fabrication shop. My original one finally wore out from daily use and I couldn't be happier with this new version

Contains references used daily in any machine/fabrication shop.

None really
