Key Features & Benefits
- Matt-laminated grease-proof pages — wipe clean of oil and coolant without ink smudging; glare-free under shop lighting and readable in dim light.
- Wire-bound flat-lay format — the book stays open on the bench hands-free while you read a table and set up a cut; no holding pages down with a dirty hand.
- Comprehensive reference content — tapping drills, speeds and feeds for common materials, tolerances, thread dimensions, taper data, gear calculations, hardening schedules, G-code reference and more in one pocket-size book.
- Metric and imperial coverage — conversion factors and dual-scale tables suit modern metric and legacy imperial work without hunting through separate references.
- Metal drill identification gauge included — a high-quality drill-size gauge included with the book; saves rummaging for a lost drill-index tab.
When to Use the Engineers Black Book
Reach for the Black Book whenever you need a quick reference at the machine — the right tapping drill for an M10 thread, the feed rate for 316 stainless in the mill, the tolerance class for a running fit, or the speed for a 1/2″ cutter in tool steel. It’s a time-saver at the lathe, mill, drill press or bench; apprentices learn from it, tradespeople rely on it, and engineers use it to sanity-check drawings on the shop floor.
Pro Tip: The speeds-and-feeds tables give a good starting point, but every shop’s machine condition, tool sharpness and fixture stiffness is different. Use the table value for the first pass, then trust your eyes and ears — if the chip colour is straw brown in steel or the cutter chatters, adjust from there. The book is a starting point, not a gospel.
