This book and the workbook were required for a machine shop class I took. The Amazon description is pretty accurate. It is written for someone in a vocational training program who will be working in the industry rather than a home workshop. The book covers a lot of material, but doesn't go into depth on any of it. Its a pretty good introductory book, but its kind of expensive. I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't required for the class. If you are just interested in learning to operate a certain machine, like a mill or lathe, or if you are interested in machining as a hobby I think there are probably better books. I am giving it 3 stars because of the high price, and many of the photos are not high enough quality, especially considering the price.

I find this book clear and easy to read on machining topics. The photographs and illustrations fit well with the text. Generally a worthwhile beginners to intermediate book for pre apprentice to 3rd year. However in future editions I would like to see ISO metric information on topics such as threads and tapers along with limits and fits. I would also like to see a change to more up to date toolposts and tool holders for the lathes.

Book was in great condition as advertised. Came on time about 2 weeks after I put the order in. I will order from this person again if I see a book they are selling.

very happy with the book. it arrive right on time and was in good condition. Apart from some stickyness on the cover (which I was able to clean right off) the book was great! Thanks!

In short, I learned I needed this book on a Monday and got it the next day. It was packaged well so it wasn't damaged at all. Haven't read too much of it yet, but if you want to learn about tools and machines in a machining workshop, this is the book to get.

recieved on time as promised in new condition....
Why are college texts 4x the cost of any other book?

Price, service, and quick shipping were all good. The book was shipped in a thin plastic envelope which allowed the book to become damaged in shipment. The words are all there, the cover will never be the same. For this book it is not worth the effort to do anything about it except this review which may help other people save their books from damage by going to another seller. Good Luck.

Super quick service. More than in time for the class my son is taking. thank you. sorry i am so late.

I went with this seller and was not diasapointed. I will add that if you see a seller with a low rating run as far as you can i didn't and i paid for it. This seller came through in excellent fashion i wish i could say that about other sellers.

The book arrived in an orderly fashion, and is in not bad shape, notwithstanding, it is a bit over highlighted, but not a big deal, for the price, thanks to whoever sent it, and Blessings, in Yeshua's name,
