As a comprehensive and easy-to-use hands-on source, this handbook is intended to serve as a memory jog for the experienced, as well as a reference for programmers and others who will not do the machining but do need to know exactly what is involved in performing a given machining step, a series of steps, or a complete job. Remaining true to its original approach, the new second edition continues to present the principles of basic machining, while summarising the major considerations involved. Logically organised, this time-tested reference starts with those machining steps that most often begin the machining process and moves through the basic machining operations. It is a must-have resource for experienced machinists; programmers; tooling, design and production engineers; and students.

This review is from: Basic Machining Reference Handbook (Paperback)
I have just bought the first edition of the book and sincerely hope that the authors since corrected the misinformation and errors the first book contained.The idea was a good one, indeed: "The intended purpose of the book is to serve as a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use, memory jog". Let's start browsing the book in no particular order. "Clamp work in the chuck and use left-hand toolbit for facing the end..." "When machining even-numbered thread, any line on the thread dial can be used. When machining odd-numbered threads, the lever can be engaged only on odd numbered lines-1,3,5, etc." "...feed the tool into the work 1/64 (0.064)in." "[machining Morse #2 taper] Tailstock offset=0.64" or 1/16" " All those were found within the first 3 minutes of browsing. Frankly, I'm not sure I want to continue reading the book. How about you?
