A portable reference for machinery and metalworking data

This compact companion gathers selected tables, charts, and text from the 32nd edition of Machinery’s Handbook, reorganized and distilled for quick access. Its scope centers on basic data and specifications relevant to manufacturing, mechanical work, and metalworking, with updated standards, key revisions, and additional tables noted in the publisher’s description. The book is designed to complement the larger handbook, not replace its broader explanatory material and standards coverage. Its pocket format makes it a practical desk-side or shop-floor reference for consulting fundamentals and specifications during study or technical work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or metalworking fundamentals
  • Professionals who need a compact reference for everyday specifications and technical data
  • Users of the 32nd-edition Machinery’s Handbook seeking a more portable companion

Book overview

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.

Features
  • A handy, portable, and time-saving, quick-access complement to the larger compilation of explanatory text, extensive data, and vital Standards information in the Machinery's Handbook.
  • Revised to reflect numerous changes made in the 32nd Edition, the new Pocket Companion includes updated Standards, key revisions, and even more tables.
  • Students and professionals will find the Pocket Companion a compact ready-reference to keep nearby while mastering fundamentals and solving problems, working on engineering designs, or seeking essential specifications daily on the shop or factory floor.
In addition to the printed book, the Pocket Companion also is sold as an eBook. For information on this handy format, as well as the Machinery's Handbook 32 Digital Edition, the eBook version of the Machinery's Handbook Guide, and other digital products, visit the Industrial Press eBookStore site at ebooks.industrialpress.com.
