Machinery Handbook

The machinery Handbook could be one of the most important tools in your tool box. I have been in the machinist trade for 32 years and I have never faced a machining challenge that I couldn’t find useful information in this book.

Known in the trade as The Machinist Bible. This book contains knowledge, information and data gathered, revised and improved upon from experts throughout the mechanical industries.

Machinery's Handbook provides mechanical and manufacturing engineers, designers, draftsmen, toolmakers, and machinists with a broad range material, from the very basic to the more advanced. It has always, and continues to provide industry fundamentals and standards.

You can buy these books new or used, but if you buy a used one I would suggest you get a recent addition because the older ones don't have any information on more modern machining methods like CNC, Laser Water Jet etc.
