Machinery’s Handbook and the Guide

This book has a ton of info and is essentially printed on dictionary paper. The normal size print is way to small (I have decent eyes) so I recommend the large print

For my engineer student son. Great reference book.

I've been machining for a while, mostly hobby, somewhat professional, but never could convince myself to spend the money on this book. I finally did thinking it might be something I pull out like once a year, but that one time would be clutch. I've probably opened it at least once a week seeking random information it actually had and I'm very happy to have it. I'm not sure the guide was worth the extra money.

There is an incredible amount of information!

Bought this for my son who is a mechanical engineering student. He said they should spend a whole year just teaching out of this book and we would have much better engineers.

It is the standard, it is the Bible of manufacturing. I had an older edition as a machinist. I misplaced it, I am extremely happy that I have the new one. I’ve used it as a reference in engineering. The knowledge in this book, the many years of evolution in this book is astounding.

It's a very good book with a lot of useful information, but do yourself a favor and make sure you get the large print version!

My husband wanted a comprehensive reference guide for his work. He is really pleased with this purchase. Its as large as my unabridged dictionary but he sees that as a good thing :) I'm very pleased that it was packaged as if the seller expected the package to be damaged and took precautions to make sure the book came out unscathed. I was very worried when I saw the, not unsubstantial, packaging damage (someone with weight lifting abilities really tossed this thing around). I was very relieved that the book was not damaged.

lo compre por que tengo un taller y es útil

We are a small Foundry and our young team of Engineers are so reliant on information from this little book.They say they find the quick references very easy while busy designing there drawings.

Prachtig nuttig boek; veel tabellen zijn wel in inches en moet je dus omrekenen. Ook zijn de letters vrij klein. Maar een bijbel is het zeker, 3000 pagina's naslagwerk.

Bought for engineer as it was top of his 'want' list. Small size makes it easy to take in hand luggage when travelling.

Ein sehr schönes Buch, praktisch um verschiedene Sachen nachzulesen oder Formeln nachzuschlagen.Allerdings sollte einem bewusst sein, dass 90% der Tabellen auf Amerikanischen Normen und Einheiten ausgelegt sind und damit in Europa bzw. für Leute die überwiegend mit dem metrischen System arbeiten relativ nutzlos.Außerdem sind die Seiten sehr dünn und empfindlich, damit ist das Buch nichts für den Werkstatt Einsatz um mal schnell mit dreckigen Händen was nachzuschlagen.All das war mir vorher bewusst und somit keine Kritikpunkte sondern nur Anmerkungen.
