Folks,I am no authority, but I was educated as a manufacturing engineer and servedmy first two years out of college in the machine-tool industry.The information about metal gages that is contained in the Machinery'sHandbook is what I have consulted as needed. This book is a wonderfulreference and I highly recommend it to anyone. Mine is the nineteenthedition -- I think the new ones are up to the 25th now. I'm not sure, but ifyou elect not to purchase this book, you should be able to get your hands onone at a good library.Having a book like the Machinery's Handbook in your personal referencelibrary is highly desirable. Spend the money -- it will tell you all kindsof things you never knew but may want to. For those of you near a city, youmay be able to get one of these used from a technical bookstore. In thePortland, Oregon area (my nearest city) Powells Technical Books is the placeto look. Used ones are just as good, since the information doesn't goobsolete too quickly.Regards,Mike________________________________________________________________________________
