2 out of 5 stars far too general   September 10, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

this book is only good for a general overview of various processes and techniques. none of the articles are very in depth and all the illustrations and photos is printed in black and white. its a decent review for an experienced welder. if you are serious about welding get an all inclusive in depth text book like Welding Principles and Applications. it will cost you but you will not be diappointed. try to find a used or older edition, the 6th edition is the latest.

A good beginners guide to all types of welding. Short on details for the more experienced.


4 out of 5 stars Welders Handbook Review   May 4, 2008

Packed full of knowledge about all aspects of welding. Whether you are a new welder or an experienced welder, there is likely some good information for you. I have welded for close to forty years and picked up some good information.


5 out of 5 stars non-welder bought book to see if I could teach myself.   April 10, 2008

I have only welded once before with no instruction. It seems extremely difficult. Now after reading this book I understand why it is difficult and I know a lot more. My goal of purchase and reading the book were completed yesterday, and now I have to ask my wife if I can buy another power tool and some steel to play with. I can't promise her, but I think I will have fun and maybe burn myself. This book seems adequate for a real welder also. I liked the format and level of explanation.


3 out of 5 stars Kind of disappointed in this book   March 12, 2008

Bought this book in part because I was hoping it would give some insight on plasma cutter selection, use, and other info.

However, in the plasma cutting section I find half a page of general info, and 12 pictures of people cutting stuff out with plasma cutters or things that have been cut with a plasma cutter. In other words, nothing useful.

The rest of the book looks like exactly the same stuff that's in his other welder's handbook. It is good info, but for something that's "Revised & Updated" it sure doesn't seem to me like it has much new info.
