Machinery Handbook #26

I already have it, it is a great reference.

#27 is out now. My supplier has one for $50. Good price? If anyone's innerested, email me for a contact #. Have screw dimensions/threads changed since the 20th edition? Carbide? :)

It's a PITA to use as an e-book. I have a hardcopy and am so much happier. I tried the e-book for about an hour and decided it was just a PITA. Better than nothing, but not by much.

They should throw the CD in along with the printed copy.

I think they do.

My preference is to have the book in the shop for ready reference, but keep the PDF version on my PC to use the search function.

My toolbox edition of 27 didnt have a cd with it. doesnt matter though i keep the book handy and ebooks physically tire me to read when i need to look up alot of info

We were quoted $126 per for the 27th Ed. for our shop. We figure to buy

2. That's in Canadian $,

$50 is bordering on gloatable, IMO.

And I doubt the pertinant info has changed since dirt was invented, but what the hey!

They don't - they sell it that way.

Basically i wish i bought this book at age 14 > My only printed copy is the 13th edition, printed 1946. This was before

Actually, calculators and computers existed then and before - just not in every shop or house yet.
