The former book ceased publication after the 8th edition (1945). (One short-lived spin-off appeared in 1955.) The latter book, Machinery's Handbook, is still regularly revised and updated, and it continues to be a "bible of the metalworking industries" today. Of course, a book crammed with so much information would be unreadable were it not for the profuse amount of tables, charts, diagrams and illustrations. But even with the visual aids, there are certain topics that make my eyes glaze over, as interesting as they initially appear to be.

Once obtaining a copy of this book was expensive but recently it has been republished with the original content so is now available at a more affordable price. A good example of this is the use of M-codes. One dual spindle CNC Lathe may use the M-code M110 to open the collet of the sub spindle while another may use M220. The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster. Machinery's Handbook is apparently [ weaselwords] the direct inspiration for similar works in other countries, such as Sweden's Karlebo handbok (1st ed. 1936).Numerous major sections have been extensively reworked and renovated throughout, including Mathematics, Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Properties of Materials, Dimensioning, Gaging and Measuring, Machining Operations, Manufacturing Process, Fasteners, Threads and Threading, and Machine Elements.

The first edition was written in 1917 and over 100 years later, it is still the best reference book available. Mathematics -- Mechanics and strength of materials -- Properties, treatment, and testing of materials -- Dimensioning, gaging, and measuring -- Tooling and toolmaking -- Machining operations -- Manufacturing processes -- Fasteners -- Threads and threading -- Gears, splines, and cams -- Machine elements -- Measuring units New to this edition … micromachining, expanded material on calculation of hole coordinates, an introduction to metrology, further contributions to the sheet metal and presses section, shaft alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, solid geometry, distinguishing between bolts and screws, statistics, calculating thread dimensions, keys and keyways, miniature screws, metric screw threads, and fluid mechanics. The 30th edition also included additional content on: sheet metal and presses; keys and keyways; shaft alignment; taps and tapping; helical coil screw thread inserts; metric screw threads; miniature screws; fluid mechanics; solid geometry; statistics; calculating hole coordinates and thread dimensions; and distinguishing between bolts and screws This book contains numerous tables, formulas, and rules related to mechanical engineering and machining.The inaugural edition of Machinery’s Handbook was published in January 1914. It was a toolbox-sized volume measuring 4.625 X 7 inches. It was well received, and more than 30,000 copies were sold within the first two years. (Industrial Press is proud to offer a Machinery’s Handbook Collector’s Edition: 1914 First Edition Replica of this landmark work.) Several revised editions were issued in the years following. During World War I, the Handbook was in great demand to serve a global call for machines of war. With: Guide to the use of tables and formulas in Machinery's handbook, 29th edition / by John M. Amiss, Franklin D. Jones, and Henry H. Ryffel. New York : Industrial Press, 2012 Numerous sections were thoroughly refreshed, reworked, or renovated. The metric content continued to be expanded. Our editors fine-tuned navigation aids to make it easier to locate information. And many figures were been refined and redrawn for enhanced clarity. Wherever practical, metric units were added adjacent to the US customary units in the text; many formulas were presented with equivalent metric expres­sions, and metric examples added.
