Written by a machinist, for machinists.
The only reference book you will every need
Over the years working as a machinist I have collected a toolbox full of charts and calculations to enable me to do my job. I compiled them into a workshop reference book and is now available for free exclusively on this website.
All the information you need to be a machine operator, setter or programmer in one place.
Whether you are a manual or a CNC machinist, A hobbyist or a professional, you often need to look up information to be able to do what you do.
The machinist's handbook is the only workshop reference book you will ever need.

No one made it
So I did
For over 34 years I worked as a machinist. During that time I had a toolbox with more paperwork than I had measuring equipment. Not only do I need charts for every kind of standard and conversion you could think of, but also bits of paper with scribbled notes on how to use cycles on CNC machines that I have not needed to program for years. I have a few handbooks thrown in for good measure but none of them contained everything I needed.
Then the mobile phone became popular, so I started collecting my notes on my phone as all the information I needed took up a lot less space and was easier to find while rushing to get that part finished before my boss exploded. I was always trying to arrange my notes and charts in a way that I could retrieve them quickly instead of emptying my toolbox or appear like I was playing on my phone instead of working.
Thats when the idea hit me, what if someone made a handbook with everything I needed? What if someone made it available as an ebook and as a standard book for the times when I was working in factorys that didnt allow mobile phones on the shop floor. For years I longed for such a book. I waited for someone to make it, there are engineering books out there but they were not aimed at machinists and either contained too much information that was irreverent to my role or not the information that I needed. I dont need a book to contain crack detection or stress and strain graphs. I needed a book that was written for machinists by a machinist.
No one made that book so I did.
I hope you find it as useful as I do.
