Customer Reviews

Nice book

I really like all of the most useful information from Machinery's Handbook in one neat little paperback.

Perfect Handbook

I love this handbook. It is a compendium of the larger manual. Has all the info needed and is much smaller.

Very handy for the machining professional

Great little book. Contains many useful charts and info. Easier to look up things quickly because of it's size, but the machinery's handbook is still the the bible of machinery references. But this handy reference has the most common reference info. in a handy size.

pocket companion

The book is very helpful, lots of information and compact... just what I was looking for!

Macinery's Handbook Pocket Companion

Very in depth. Too complex for a quick guide for the beginner machinist. Should have machining experience to take advantage of information from the book.
