5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat complicated for a layman metalworker
This is an older book that is complicated to the layman metalworker. Most of the engineers I know would a little trouble with this book too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat complicated for a layman metalworker, December 28, 2010
This review is from: Jig and Fixture Design Manual (Paperback)
This is an older book that is complicated to the layman metalworker. Most of the engineers I know would a little trouble with this book too. I haven't read all of it yet, but it is worth having in my machining book collection. Like always, I believe if I find a few neat things, its a good buy. I have seen a few good nuggets in this book. Was really looking for a clearer approach to fixture building, but hey I have a book that REALLY breaks down the way fixtures are built! Lots of mathematical formulas!
