Average Customer Rating:

If you need it, you need it	Customer Rating:
Any design engineer should have this book. It's got everything from fastener dimensions (if you have to model/draw them in your design) to std. clearance&interference fits to material properties and machining speeds & feeds. If you're designing, manufacturing, or planning most any products that aren't circuit boards, it's probably a good idea to get a copy of this book.

Machinery's Handbook 28th ed	Customer Rating:
The best reference for the metal working trade - more than you will ever need to know

Better than a good thing but..	Customer Rating:
I love this book, but for me there is a mix of SI and Imperial units. I would much rather have everything in SI, except where the section is imperial, eg Imperial threads.

Book review	Customer Rating:
This edition was in great shape and just as informative as always. A must buy for anyone working in the machining industry.

Machinery's Handbook	Customer Rating:
Great reference book for the engineer or machinist. The book I purchased was listed as used and in excellent condition. It was as advertised, perhaps even better. Shipping was fast and ahead of projection. Couldn't be happier with my Amazon.com purchase!
