Machinery's Handbook 16th Edition: A Look

Here I take a look at the "Bible of Mechanical Engineering," Machinery's Handbook, in its 16th edition from 1962. It's an indispensable tool for those who work in the machine shop or as practicing engineers, but only in standard Imperial units...

Just graduated college and am an IE in Aerospace Machine Shop etc. Manager recommended this as a must have, I just bought the 31'st edition for $100. Thanks for sharing, hopefully you landed a great gig after college!

very helpful! I'm an IE working as a manufacturing engineer and one of the guys told me, "you need to read the Bible". thanks for posting this video years ago. It looks like I will be using this book for screw thread systems.

Thank you for doing this review, SuperVPower. Great humor, pointing out the difference between theory and practice, the need for a book like this in this day and age, and superb coverage of the important parts of the book. If I was working in this field, I'd want to buy it right away! Very enlightening. Please do more reviews like this!

important information and concise by a metallica fan. also found one to use for 40 quid. also getting the 25th edition of it too, purely so i have multiple reference points.
however master of puppets is anguish to play on bass... so... much... pain.

I have the 17th edition. I have a degree in Physics, this book provides a lot of important information for me.

Tabellenbuch Metal is a German machinery handbook also in English, Newnes Engineers Reference is Brits metrc version. So if your looking for metric, I would look into these. Why complain about an U.S. not covering metric? That's like Brits complaining about theirs not covering imperial. So look into these.

Since you feel there is so much outdated information in that book, why did you choose a book published in 1962? Did you not realize technology changed a bit in the last 60 years?
