Summary: For working machinists, toolmakers, and designers
Comment: This practical little book contains about 90% of the information that you'll ever really need without going to Machinery's Handbook. It is also about a tenth of the price, is much less bulky, and is durable and easy to flip through with the spiral binding.

These are the specific sections included: I. Mathematical Information (decimal equivalents, areas, gage blocks, shop trig.), II. Drills (grinding, common problems and causes, drill sizes- decimal and metric, cutting speeds) III. Tapers, IV. Screws, Threads, Fasteners V. Milling, Shaping, Turning (cutters, speeds and feeds, lubricants), VI. Gears, VII. Weights, Gages, Tolerances, VIII.Tool Steels, IX Metric Information, X Reading Shop Prints (symbols, dimensioning and tolerances, geometric tolerancing, surface texture specs.)

There is a good index in the back of the book and the table of contents in the front is also detailed. There are black side indexes to help you flip quickly to the ten main sections. The spiral binding is durable and the paper quality is heavy.

Between school, the shop floor, and engineering offices I've been working around machinery for about thirty years now- this really is a practical, usuable book for a reasonable amount of money. Fits in your pocket- and if it disappears you won't be out a fortune.
