Black Books EBB3INCH Engineers Black Book 3rd Edition (1 per Pack)

Fantastic book. Everything from the printed material in the book itself, to the images and coloring, to the page texture and durability, it’s a must have for anyone from education to tradesmen.

As a machinist apprentice, I use this book daily to check my work. This is a TREASURE TROVE of knowledge! The pages being water/coolant/smudge/grease/tear-proof is reassuring that I don't have to clean and dry my hands just to check a tap-drill size.

I've had books like this before, most of them were filled with disappointing pages of charts that were replaced by common calculators years ago.I've been machining over forty years and this book has really useful info, things like woodruff key specs that are very handy and the carbide insert section is excellent. Sure you can find this info on line but this book saves the time and going to manufacturers websites as it lists different manufacturers designations for you.I didn't like that the pages were stuck together at the seam and I had to carefully go through each page to keep them from ripping or the fact that you have to place the page tabs yourself, although it gives you the option of leaving them off.I do like the ruggedness of the pages and the quality feel of the paper.All and all a great condensed book for the shop.Recommended.

Comes in handy on a daily bases, also broadened my horizon on types of lathe inserts, carbide grades and much more. I’d even recommend this to current engineering students because y’all diabolically delusional about designing for manufacturability.

Really like the quality except for one page was folded over during production and got glued down under laminate. Looks like it's the inky page. I didn't notice until return period had passed. Check as soon as you get it.

like this book,i just dont take time to read it,i learn more hands on right now.

Extremely helpful, good quality and very nice references. A must buy for any machinist

Received the book. It’s exactly what I was looking for. However, when I was putting the red chapter tabs on the designated pages, I noticed a few pages had a defect. Only a few pages have it but it’s a dirt/ink smudge that seems to be under the laminated coating. The back of the book recommends using a clean rag with warm water and some to wipe away any residue but nothing came off when I did that. After closely inspecting the defect I realized it was under the laminated coating that each page has.I reached out to publisher to see if they can swap out the pages that are defective. Waiting for them to respond. Besides this simple issue, the book is exactly what I was looking for. I’ll likely order a second copy but in the larger format version.
