The 25th edition has been completely updated to reflect the changes and additions made to the "Handbook". Throughout, readers will find useful information on how to employ the "Handbook" to solve problems encountered on the job. In addition to offering a wealth of time-saving data that can help in almost any situation, it includes over 500 examples and questions with answers specifically selected for engineers and apprentices. 224 pp. Pub: 5/96.
Filled with typos, wrong answers, incorrect page numbers, etc. I was required to buy this book for a college course. It's on the opposite end of the spectrum when compared to Machinery's Handbook 30th. I gave this book away -@ no charge- to another poor sap that had to take the course.
As a machinist, the Handbook has been the quintessential reference for machining trumping even the internet. If you need to know the maximum diameter for a flathead screw in order to know how wide to make your countersink so the screw sits flush, then this book is for you!!!!
