There is no replacement for the MH, maybe a supplement.
Or, for that matter, the Kent's Mechanical Engineer's handbook.
In my opinion, the harig speed/feed calculator is still the best starting point, other than the cutting tool mfg's listed specs..
As to the new book: will it fit in the drawer?

That name (author) sounds familiar.. I have a diemakers handbook (It's on the bookshelf behind a big steel tabletop that I can't move by myself)
maybe that's where I've heard of him.

I looked forward to that thread all day, only to find it's petered out.
