Synopsis

Since publication of the first edition more than 100 years ago, Machinery’s Handbook has been acclaimed as the most popular, bestselling engineering resource of all time. Universally considered the principal reference in the manufacturing, mechanical, and metalworking industries, the Handbook is the ultimate collection of essential information.

A concise yet authoritative, highly useful reference that draws its content from the Machinery’s Handbook, the latest Machinery’s Handbook Pocket Companion is an ideal quick resource for students and professionals in manufacturing, metalworking, and related fields for whom convenient access to the most basic data is essential. This expertly curated collection includes tables, charts, and text selected from the Handbook. Much of the information has been reorganized, distilled, or simplified to increase the usefulness of this data-rich resource, while keeping it compact.

Designed as a time saver, the Pocket Companion is not intended to replace the new Machinery’s Handbook, 32nd Edition. Instead, it serves as a handy and more portable complement to the Handbook’s vast collection of text, data, and Standards information.
