About this publication
The Machinery’s Handbook Pocket Companion: Quick Access to Basic Data & More from the 32nd Edition is a compact technical reference built for machinists, toolmakers, manufacturing engineers, CNC programmers, shop supervisors, maintenance personnel, students, and hands-on professionals who need fast access to core shop data and everyday mechanical reference information. Published by Industrial Press, Inc., this title is especially valuable for buyers who want a more portable companion to the full Machinery’s Handbook without losing the practical utility that makes the series so respected.
Built for real-world use in machine shops, maintenance departments, classrooms, drafting rooms, and jobsite settings, this book works well for readers who need quick lookups rather than long-form explanations. It is a strong fit for day-to-day work involving dimensions, formulas, threads, fasteners, machining data, inspection basics, and common manufacturing reference needs. Instead of forcing users to carry a much larger handbook everywhere, this companion gives them a more convenient working format for fast consultation.
A major strength of this book is its portability. Many buyers want the trusted Machinery’s Handbook name and utility, but they do not always need the full-size reference open beside them every minute of the day. That is exactly where the Pocket Companion brings value. It serves as a practical bench-side and toolbox-friendly reference for the types of information machinists, engineers, and technical workers use constantly.
Because it is tied directly to the 32nd Edition, this title is also attractive to buyers who want a more current companion reference rather than an older quick-reference guide. It is a smart choice for professionals building out a more usable shop library, for apprentices and students who want a more approachable entry point into the Machinery’s Handbook family, and for experienced users who want a smaller-format reference they can keep close at hand.
At 424 pages, this is not a flimsy pocket pamphlet. It is a substantial quick-reference tool designed to deliver meaningful day-to-day value in a more convenient size. For many buyers, that makes it one of the best practical add-on titles in the machinery, machining, and manufacturing category.
