This shop reference for students and apprentices was not what I was expecting. I bought it for metrology references to help train some line inspectors. It has since become well thumbed and greasy because my machinists keep borrowing it, preferring it over the complete handbook. They like that it's not as detailed and just covers what they need to know.

I keep this book in my toolbox at work. It has the vital information I need for around the shop such as feed and speed rates for the lathe and mill, broaching and drilling, indexing. Plenty of useful information concerning screw threads, keys and keyseats,allowances and tolerances in english and metric, inspection, and tons of the math needed for geometry and trig. Way too much information to list. Excellent book. This information comes from the "Machinery's Handbook" and other sources but is smaller and fits nicely in the top of my toolbox.

This book is very handy regardless of whether you are a machinist, in school, or just work with tools. It tells you the speeds for drilling, milling, and etc. for several sizes of bits. You can also find out thread types and sizes easily. I highly recommend buying this book even if you don't need it for classes.

The manual was as described in the ad. It has the basic information a student needs in relation to becoming an apprentice, machinist. I will use it as a teaching aid in my Mathematics classes.

I ordered this book as the required text book for a class my son is taking at college. It arrived fast, in good condition and was the correct text. It was also cheaper than at the campus book store. We have done this with other textbooks as well. Now I always check Amazon before we buy.

I received Shop Reference for Students and Apprentices. The book is in excellent condition and it arrived quicker than anticipated. Thank you.
