5.0 out of 5 stars The best reference books I have..., July 27, 2000
By 
Thomas W Kelsey (North Platte, Ne USA) - See all my reviews
These two volumes tell me more than the other 7 or 8 books on machine shop that I have. Written very clearly and concisely, extremely easy to understand for the amount of information it puts out. Explains many of the details of machineshop and how to sharpen your own cutting tools, how to thread, many of the common types of shop machines and how to use them. This is the best shop book that I have read to date

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well written - does cover milling, September 26, 2000
By 
Jonathan Ridder (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
These books are very throrough and cover grinding, lathe operation, drilling, milling, etc. However, you need to get both volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 are different books, not different version of the same book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must have, May 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Machine shop Practice Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
I would rate it as one of the best books on lathe turning. Volume 1 covers the lathe operation in detail. Volume 2 covers the milling machine in detail. The book has too much information for the absolute beginner to absorb all at once so I would suggest that the operater reads the book a few times after he/she has become familiar with the lathe. I recommend this book highly simply because it is so detailed in the description of every turning operation. There could have beeen more drawings to compliment the detailed text but I doubt whether a better book on the lathe exists.
