Engineers Black Book (Data Sheets, Formulae, Reference Tables, Equivalent Charts)

Nothing here that isn't in Machinery's Handbook, but it's a lot easier to fit into your pocket. The tool that's included is handy and clever, and fairly well made, but I suspect that most who will buy this book already have equivalents in their toolbox. If I ever have to check a drill point angle when away from the toolbox however, I'm now all set! Quality of the printing is good, and the pages aren't flimsy at all. Should last a long time if not abused.

Truly a must have for any engineer or machinist or craftsman dealing with metals or plastics. A wealth of information. Great for quickly pulling up small details that you know you learned but can't quite recall. It also has a great section on learning carbide insert denomination, which can get confusing. I keep one at my desk and one in the shop. The pages are slightly waxed and even after a while of it living in a machine shop, it's in great shape.

Im a novice machinist and Mainly bought this for the drill and tap charts (form tapping and cut tapping ). Also has alot of conversion charts and info for mill and lathe .pages are .004 in thickness and not laminated like I thought . Pages do have some type of coating on them to help keep clean . Also some of the pages are printed crooked so the holes cut out some of the wording on some pages . But over all for the price not a bad buy .

Good reference to have handy in the shop. Sure, everything in here can be found elsewhere and by google search, but it's nice to have this handy when needed. Plastic pages help keep it clean.

I have machinerys handbook companion also, unless you have 10x magnifying eyes, get this. The charts and lists are much easier to see and find information .well laid out, does not cover 5he amount of detail as machinerys, but do you need that much in a pocket companion.

This is a very small book, no bigger than a notepad. All the pages are in color, and have many data on tables relating to the precise measurements for any activity related to machining. It even includes a metal piece, which is a small sophisticated measuring tool, which at the moment cannot recall what is is. Oh yeah, it is called a "Drill point sharpening gage." Dunno what its use is, but it might be useful for those who know of it.

Handy reference used at least once per week.Delivered on time and was as described.I will order from them again.

Awesome book! Very useful. 5 stars for seller
