5.0 out of 5 stars
Old dogs CAN indeed learn new tricks!,
By Barry Cutter (Kansas City, Mo.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Machinist's Third Bedside Reader (Paperback)
This the third in a series of books for machinists,gunsmiths and anyone interested in making things from metal. A compendium of useful (exteremely in-depth) information presented in a very enjoyable style. This is the good stuff from the experts. The kind of stuff you could spend years looking for and never hear about! Only a fool would let this one go by!
4.0 out of 5 stars
More Good Stuff - Worth its Price...,
By mcl181 "Mike" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Machinist's Third Bedside Reader (Paperback)
Another rich source of experience and knowledge for all Machinists. Pros - Very easy and pleasurable reading. Lots of good hints, tips, and drawings for projects plus, several lifetimes worth of knowledge available. Examples: "....how to find out almost anything..." - applies to much more than machining/metal work; "Fixture for setting the Compound Rest for taper turning"; "Shop made" taps, reamers, etc., etc. There are way too many other examples than can be covered here - the Table of Contents alone are 3 large pages long. Cons - Rather Pricey due mainly to small/independent publishing (Laws of Supply & Demand also show this is a quality product at a higher than average cost). Too many "plugs" or "teasers" for other products the author sells; there are many of us amateurs on highly limited budgets. No Index. It must be purchased separately, which covers all 3 volumes in the series. Because there is no Index, retrieving/applying the information can become a royal pain in the posterior. Conclusion - Imperfections aside/easily ignored, this and the previous two volumes are great books to have [must have?]. Several small spending sacrifices made in other areas will be amply rewarded in obtaining this book.
